that's exactly why they have been more and more cultivaded, they can eat the plastics, and their excrements can be later used as fertilizer, i'm not sure they can sustain on just plastic though, but they can still be useful, the only problem is that they grow into beetles that don't seem able to do the same, so they only have a few weeks to do that before they go into metamorphosis
