Does anyone know of a website that sells flying insects (moths, etc.)for anoles? Much appreciated!

Oregon Feeder Insects sells housefly pupae but only in large quantities. If you raise waxworms, let some spin cocoons and metamorphose into moths.

Thanks. How long does it take for the wax worms to metamorphose? Can I do this with waxworms purchased from the pet store? Are there special conditions I need to provide the waxworms for them to spin the cocoons? Thanks for your help. My anoles just have not been eating and someone said to try flying insects, well I put one moth in their cage and they just darted after it immediately! It was the first time they have eaten voluntarily in months.

It's going to take several weeks. You might want to try Carolina Biological Supply. They have small quantities of housefly pupae. They will emerge in about 3 days. You can put a dozen pupae in a container in the enclosure (make sure the mesh top doesn't have too big holes) and the Anole will eat them as they emerge. Yopu can store the escess in the door of your refrigerator at 35-40 degrees.
BTW, if you live in a fairly warm climate, moths should be available almost year round.
