haha nice!
Thank you so much for the photo.

Yes that is kinda eww, I hate how waxworms are so much like maggots. Although I understand that maggots are actually more nutritious than waxworms but they still creep me out... stupid society making people think maggots, roaches, mice/rats are gross when in fact they are just another creature/critter!

Phoenix/calci worms are essentially maggots lol.

When I was younger I used to be terrified of creepy crawly things. Now I'm sticking my hands into bins of mealies, roaches, waxies, you name it. Guess the love of my leos killed the fear of the bugs >.<
