They will but not much meat, therefore I don't recommend them as a staple food. They usually refuse Superworm beetles since they emit a foul odor when threatened.

Mealworm beetles aka Darkling beetles? Or are they too chitinous?
I've often taken darkling beetles out of my spiders enclosures and thrown a dubia in, which was eaten immediately. I really don't think they care for them, from what I've seen. They may eat them if they're starving, but for some reason they don't care for them, in my experience.
