I found some comb in an empty hive that was filled with wax moth larvae (gross!). I have bluebirds nesting in a box in my front yard so I knocked the larvae out of the combs onto the driveway. Within a minute or two, the parent bluebirds were going nuts grabbing them and feeding them to their young. They must have felt like they were in bluebird heaven!

My son's Leopard Gecko also loves them.  Only can have them once in awhile though - high in fat - the McDonald's of the insect world! :-D

My venus fly traps love them (well I didn't see smiles, but they did).  I thought they might chew their way out of the closed traps, but that did not happen.

Stuck two infested frames in the freezer the other day, when I pulled them out, the dead worms were all poking out of the wax. We have a tub full of week-old chicks in the garage right next to the freezer, so I knocked the worms into the tub and those chicks went BANANAS! Went out to look for more worms... :-D
