Yep! The only bad thing about pupae is that they only wiggle a little when poked, so your gecko has to be good about hand feeding... or it could just be like mine and eat anything you stick in front of it.
Frank Indiviglio writes these great articles about reptile husbandry and feeding; he really inspired me to branch out and explore new feeding options for my gecko. He does some things I wouldn't (like collect wild insects), but I do think he's right about offering variety. I'll link a few articles here, but just searching/browsing through the blog archives will reveal some very useful stuff. Be sure to also read the comments on the articles, as he gives a lot of in-depth answers to reader questions. Sometimes these are more useful than the articles themselves.
