    How do they compare to wax worms? Maybe that is what I was thinking about?

    This is what Rob from Great Lakes Hornworm had reported to him from a lab:
    Protein: 9%
    fat: 3.07%
    Calcium: 46.4mg/100g
    Moisture: 85%

    Wax worms have a considerably higher percentage of fat...basically Hornworms are water balloons
