As a part of a varied diet they would be fine. I just wouldn't feed them exclusively.

In deed I only use them as an emergency food or to help them in that size which they are too big for drosophila, and too small for nail head criquets.

I learned at college that all organisms ins some stages need diferent amounts of fat, protein, vitamins, and carbs, I guess they wols be a good food for adult females, since they need carbs and lipids for reproduction
