    I saw some guys using them in Chicago. They look something like a cross between a meal worm and a wax worm. I believe they're a moth larva. They'd be good bluegill/trout/catfish bait.

    Use them a lot for trout with good results. A bit pricey, though.

    Well it seems the bluegills liked them but only hooked up with the peanuts of the bunch, nothing over 5", but was a learning experience for me...

    I haven't used live bait since I was about 8 yrs old...:o

    Butterworms are not native to the USA they are imported.

    The ButterWorm is the soft-bodied larval stage of the Chilean Moth (Chilecomadia moorei) which is known to inhabit the mountains in central Chile. Collected in tebo trees and shipped weekly to us, they are so named because the Chilean Moth lives and lays it's larva in the Tebo Tree. Picked by hand the Butterworms(aka:Teboworms) is used extensively in European counties for fishing and pet foods
    We have our USDA Permit( Approved ) to import and ship Teboworms in the USA. We believe that it is a good food source for the reptile industry. Easily shipped and stored, and with excellant nutritional content.

    So I made a mistake, they sure look like what I find in logs around here. Thanks for clearing that up for us.
