Species with mouth parts that appear to be 'similar', like Sargus, do feed on honeydew. I have never seen Hermetia in nature...

Thanks Paul, some sites report that it don't have functional mouth part, other sites say it feed nectar, some publications say it "probably" feed nectar and it's a pollinator.

Paul Beuk 18 September 2015 11:57:02

Sounds like it might be. Do sites that 'say not' state that they do feed or don't they mention anything?

Marcello 14 September 2015 20:42:04

Question: is it true that the Hermetia illucens don't have functional mouth part? Some sites say yes and some other say not. It's a bit confused. Thanks
