Most lizards are carnivores and can eat insects. Small lizards usually only catch small insects, such as ants, flies, mosquitoes and so on. Larger lizards can catch larger insects, such as crickets and grasshoppers. In addition to insects, larger lizards also prey on larger animals, such as fish, shrimp, frogs and even small mammals. However, there are a few lizards that are vegetarian and do not eat insects.

1. What kind of insects

There are many kinds of lizards, their habits are different, and they like to eat different things. Among them, many lizards are carnivores, like to eat animals, and can catch many animals as food.

Specifically, different lizards eat different animals. Because of their small size, small lizards catch smaller animals, such as ants, flies, mosquitoes and so on. Larger lizards can catch crickets, earthworms, snails and other animals. There are also larger lizards, which basically do not eat very small animals, they eat larger animals, such as fish, shrimp and frogs, and sometimes even some mammals as their own food. Of course, not all lizards eat insects, and some lizards are phytophagous themselves, so they don't eat insects.

2. Can lizards eat mealworms? As mentioned

above, there are many kinds of animals that lizards can eat, and lizards of different sizes have different feeding characteristics and like to eat different animals. If the lizards are farmed, and they are carnivorous, they can also be prepared with animal feed.

Mealworms are relatively easy to buy, there are many in the flower and bird market, and the price is relatively cheap. Generally speaking, lizards are more interested in mealworms, which contain proteins that play a greater role in the growth and development of lizards.
