Has this ever been tried?. Maggots are obviously available from any local fishing shop as are casters. Are there any reasons why trying this would be a bad idea?.

I'm not sure about the maggots, but I know a lot of UK people use adult flies to feed their colonies.

Better wait until they become flies. My ant colonies did not like the maggots.
