Feeder insects: please answer
I've seen Mikey Bustos' video on feeder insects, and in it he mentions hornworms and some other insects that he doesn't cover much. Are hornworms, butterworms, and waxworms good feeder insects for ants? Are they nutritious? Easy to raise? Thank you.

Yes they are good. They are nice and full of fats. Although there are some other feeders. If you want to breed feeders Dubai cockroaches are the way to go, they are super easy to breed. They are also the most nutritious.
With all the things ants can do, you wonder, who rules the planet

i cant speak for those worms. but i do know meal/super worms are very nutritious, and easy to raise.(i raised them in volume for many years.) on the other hand, if you are raising any insect your self for feeding, the nutrition content will partly depend on you and how you care for said insect.MCWren wrote:I've seen Mikey Bustos' video on feeder insects, and in it he mentions hornworms and some other insects that he doesn't cover much.
