They are the larvae of the Blue Bottle Fly and contain 20% protein and only 6% fat.
They look like a small waxworm measuring between 3/8" to 1/2" in length. In the wild fly larvae are a part of the natural diet of fish, reptiles, birds, and amphibians. They are very appealing, and are eaten as readily as a waxworm and are soft-bodied making them highly digestible (94%!!)
We highly recommend them but they must be kept extremely cold between 33 and 39° to prevent them from turning into flies. The crisper of your fridge is usually the perfect place.
