Yeah I thought so, but the mandibles look not all that "beefy" for eating. Very fragile looking in comparison to the workers.
I've used these before as treats, when I didn't need to cultivate them. I think it stands to reason they would be more nutritious than the workers. I'd like to use these over the winter to cultivate but it sounds like chances are they're useless this late in the year.
