Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Red commercial larvae

The subject sound strange, but it's the case. These Diptera larvae are sold in pet shops for feed reptiles, etc and in sport shops for fishing. I never saw it in the wild. I caught them in a house of a friend that breed reptiles, for feed my Libelloides larvae. Each larva sizes about 7-8 mm and now I have all in pupae. I'm waiting the born of the adults.

Someone can help me to ID?
