I just caught one. Not much is known about them, but could it be possible we could use them instead of BSF? Like BSF they mimic a wasp. They may not have mouth parts as adults. I saw this guy because he was MASSIVE, flying around, I followed it and caught it. Don't ask. I have it sitting in my room for further examination. This guy is so big, he sat down to take a poop inside the container. I mean it folded its abdomen forward and SAT DOWN and just let some go (UNLESS THESE ARE EGGS, I CANT FREAKIN TELL).
