I also regulalry feed superworms to my cichlids and livebearers: whole for fish that can swallow them and torn up to the smaller ones.
The "burrowing out" phenomenon is a myth. I gut load mine with flake.
Superworms turn into nastly black beetles. I wouldn't feed one of those (at least alive) to my fish: nasty pinchers.
The worms (larvae) on the other hand are clean, don't need to be refrigerated, and high in protein.
