Mealworms and black soldier fly (BSF) larvae are two of the most reared insects at an industrial scale. Both may feed on by-products from agricultural food industries. Feed efficiency is one important aspects such processes varies between species substrates depends metabolic performance larvae. Compared to each other, both hold advantageous capabilities affecting their efficiency, likely depending substrate. We mealworms BSF a diverse selection industries, quantified major rates across life spans, compared performances. The type had stronger effects growth than Generally, were in terms highest maximal specific rate (0.50–0.77 day−1) assimilation (0.81–1.16 shortest development period (23–25 days) but disadvantageous maintenance cost (0.07–0.21 day−1). In mealworms, 0.02–0.11 day−1, 0.16–0.37 was least 65–93 days, while only 0.02–0.05 day−1. contrast larvae, weight dependent lowest largest individuals. combined outcome these resulted average carbon net NGE*avg 0.16–0.40 0.33–0.56 span. It thus seems that more versatile somewhat efficient converting into mealworms. Differences affected substrate conversion efficiencies (i.e., ratio gain reduced substrates) impact overall insect farming.
