You should cut it in halves for Lasuis niger... it's better to only feed big colonies of bigger species whole meal worms because they can manage to get in themselves but a rather small Lasius niger colony should be helped by cutting the meal worm open.

Yes it is better to cut them in pieces. The shell is to hard for them. (for most species)
