No, the optimum calcium: phosphorous ratio for reptiles is 1.5:1 or 2:1. The ratio of Herptivite or Herpvite (can't remember the exact name) is 2:1, but feeding insects are generally high in phosphorous and low in calcium. In other words, the ratio of the entire food item is not going to be 2:1 even when dusted. Since so many of the feeder insects have sufficient phosphorous, I choose to gutload on veggies, etc and dust with multivitamins less often.
Just my preference, your mileage may vary.
