If that's a tomato horn worm, I'm on the wasps side...

Hornworms are a delicious treat for any lizard large enough to eat them. Bearded dragons seem to love them. If you catch them and put them into a container with a food/water source anyone with a pet like that will happily pay you for them.

But only a treat. Maybe theres been more science done in the past 5 years, but I remember them being basically junk food for lizards.

Sure, wax worms and hornworms have a higher fat:protein content than is “healthy” for your captive lizard. A treat is exactly that, you should not feed them only snacks everyday just like your dogs or cats or yourself!
