If I remember correctly waxworks have only slightly less protein than mealworms, but I don't use them for a different reason. One of the favored places for the eggs to be laid is in beehives. Since I also have bees, I just don't want to chance it! Can really harm a hive if even a couple escaped and matured! Mealworms, no problems and breed easily too.
