Are black soldier flies nutritous or are they like the lettuce of the insects?

I'm talking about the actual black soldier flies and not the BSFL. My beardie loves eating the flies but can't find much infomation on if they're a staple and healthy or should be avoided.

Please let me know what you think!
Thank you in advance! <3

i don't have any links to share or anything like that, but i have seen people say around here many times that the flies are just fine for feeding. no personal experience though. the one time we bought the BSFL sir henry wasn't really interested in them, so we fed off the small amount we had and haven't ordered them again. he's a dubia man apparently!

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
