My Colony

Bought 3,000 from Mother Clucker's Mealworms (online)  21 Jun 2024 to establish colony

Colony was slowly ended.  Fed off remaining mealworms and humanely got rid of beetles to prevent any more.  I was paying more to feed the mealworms than it cost to just buy what I need monthly.

Stage 1 - egg

Stage 2 - Larva (the actual mealworm)

Stage 3 - Pupa

Stage 4 - Adult beetle (most animals will not eat the beetles as they are very bitter tasting)
