They are the larvae of the soldier fly, a wasp-like fly.

Apparently they like to eat...feces. However, they will also go after food waste, so I would think that you could feed them vegetable baby food, finely chopped or blended meat, or chopped vegetables and fruits.

The adults are nectar-drinkers. They are fully capable of flight, so special precautions would need to be taken when working with them to keep them contained.

Uh, only NO!

That's why they're called superworms, not phoenix worms or calci worms. I guess nobody knows how? Oh well. I guess that's why there's Google.

im pretty sure that phoenix worms are a species of Maggot which is a fly larva so you would be dealing with fly's when thier adults and i read that they don't useally turn into fly's i think its probably because of thier diet they may need to eat somthing other then whats in the container to turn into flys but yet again im really am not 100% sure on any of this

Uhm...what? That post made no sense, Zoofew.

Seth, I am not sure how to breed phoenix worms but I sure would like to know, as some of mine have pupated before being served and I don't want them to go to waste. I'm going to hit up Google and I'll post what I find.

As some of you know, the main insects of my herps' (With the exception of the red-eyes, they just eat crickets) diets are crickets, phoenix worms, and superworms. I already know how to breed crickets and superworms, and I will begin that soon. But I would like to know if anyone knows how to breed phoenix worms.
