The
Phoenix Worm is the larval stage of the soldier fly. Larvae are soft bodied
grubs that are torpedo-shaped and flattened, with skin (exoskeleton) appearing
firm and tough. The Phoenix Worm is fed a grain based diet and the larvae hatch
from eggs and develop through several stages before pupating inside of the last
larval skin. The Phoenix Worm will last for weeks in the cup they are shipped
to you in before pupating. They do not need to be fed or cultured, so the
Phoenix Worm makes for a care-free and easy live feeder and along with silk worms
are simply the most nutritious feeders on the market today. These worms are
packed with calcium and phosphorus and are relatively low in fat. Because of
their high nutritional content, there's no need to dust or gut-load them. The
Phoenix Worm's high calcium content makes it an ideal feeder for gravid females
and will allow the breeding female to retain and use larger than normal amounts
of natural calcium for strong and copious egg production. In addition, many
experts believe that the high calcium content of the Phoenix Worm may halt or
reverse the effects of metabolic bone disease.
