How much do darkling beetles...

[ez2animate]

I was wondering how many eggs darkling beetles lay at once. And i want to know the survival rate for the eggs, and for the mealworms.

Also i want to know aproximately how many mealworms i will produce each month if i start off with 250 mealworms.

I heard each female beetle lays ~500 eggs in a period of 2 months ish, survival rate i really couldn't tell you. But tithink its pretty high.

Thnx, i saw on wikipediaa they said they lay 500 eggs at once, i didnt think so. It makes more sense over a period of 2 months.
