Darkling beetles as ant food

Hey guys so I just had a crazy idea, would Darkling beetles (adult mealworms) be a good protein source for ants? I was just wondering because I have a ton of the little beetles and I am looking for a new protein source for my ants.

I would think so, the legs and moving parts will have a lot of good proteins. Probably should squish them first though, so they wont kill any ants or chew anything.
