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!

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
