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!
