Description
Adult Oileus rimator measure 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) in length. It is a macropterous species, in contrast to some of its congeners.[2]
In a nutritional study of edible insects, Oileus rimator larvae were found to be 21% protein, compared to 80% for adult female gypsy moths (Lymantria dispar).[3] Another study found that the larvae contained 36% crude protein.[4]
