Hahah! I'm just weird- the adult beetles kind of freak me out for some reason. Crickets, mealies...they are fine. But beetles....ugh.

Think mealies are weird......supers are 3 times as big! I can do mealies in my sleep as my colony is running rampant picked out 70 morphers and have 200+ beetles plus more worms than I want to count lol. I have to get a size pic for you that will show you what I am up against lol

If you think that mealworm beetles are gross, check how big superworm beetles are!!!

You get used to the beetles when you breed the mealies and supers:main_laugh:

I had some superworms that got out and around the house a few years ago. It wasn't so bad when the kids noticed a few superworms crawling up the woodwork. Then everything got quiet. Until, we started to find some BIG beetles. That didn't go over so well. (I have one son who won't go barefoot outside because he's afraid of bugs . . . )
