Yes, this exactly. So many of these articles don’t mention that no, you won’t be popping maggots squirming into you mouth. You dehydrate the larva, grind it into a meal and add it to foods. If I could get food grade BSFL meal I would be eating the shit out of it. You cant get cheaper more environmentally sound protean.
On a side note, I’ve been meaning to start a colony as they will eat anything you give them. All your kitchen scraps can go there instead of to the municipal compost and turn right into food. If you REALLY can’t eat them yourself or your using them as a composting toilet (they will eat poop within 8 hours of… production rather than the 2 years for normal composting) then they can be fed to chickens, fish or hogs as their main food source.
