The inclusion of this species in aquafeed has provided promising results in a wide range of feeding trials, both in terms of fish development and health. morio can be a valuable nutrient and antimicrobial source that could be utilized further in insect-based feed and food production. We illustrate certain basic characteristics of the morphology and bio-ecology of this species, which is marginally considered as a ‘pest’ in durable amylaceous commodities. The aim of this review is to compile up-to-date information on the superworm, Zophobas morio (F.), regarding its biology and ecology, but also its further potential for use as a nutrient source for food and feed.
