Black Soldier Fly Larvae?

[Zeez]

What are some opinions (or better, facts) about feeding scorpions BSF grubs? A friend of mine has some and I can't seem to find any info on feeding them to scorpions. Anyone have any info?

Depends on the type of scorp I'd say. I've fed grubs/larva to my Pandinus Cavimanus and Heterometrus Spinifer before with success. They were superworms and mealworms. I've tried feeding those to my desert species, Androctonus, and they had zero interest. I can't say I've heard of black soldier flies before. Approx. how big are the grubs?

Not sure on the size. They were bought with intent to feed to a juvenile bearded dragon. My main concern is that they are high in calcium and I'm wondering if that would be harmful to my scorps.

I have Asian Forest scorpions (not sure on specific species) and emperor scorpions.

They will be safe to eat. No need to worry about calcium overexposure. Be sure to offer your scorpions a varied diet. Throw in some mealworms, crickets, and roaches. See what they will and won't eat.
