First 5 kg order of Tenebrio molitor contained roughly 15% larvae below the stated 25 mm harvest length, which was a problem for our juvenile raptor clients who require consistent sizing. I raised the issue directly with their team, provided photos, and received a partial replacement shipment within 5 days plus an explanation that a grading calibration error had been corrected. Second and third orders have been accurate. The protein documentation is genuinely detailed. Issue is resolved, but worth noting for buyers with strict sizing requirements.
