I hate cutworms! They aren't only a major garden pest they just gross me out - and this is from the bug-lover

seriously jamie, I have no idea how nutritious, or not, they might be. They are despised in the gardening world and any research that has been done is how to get rid of them. so there must be some nutritive value. Who did you buy them from? Were they selling them as feeders?

After thinking about how much I hate these things I might take pleasure in feeding them to a herp...

...Rodan, Attack of the Crab Monsters (am I dating myself here? Oh, that's right, you all know I am an old lady - not as old as some, though Ha-HA!). They made the critters HUGE so they could become the predator on us little humans.

I hate my boss so I'll make a HUGE Chameleon to eat him!

Can you post the web address for that site that sells these worms? The link didn't work for me and I'm looking for another insect variety for a fussy eater.

Thanks,
