So excited

[larry26]

So when i was looking through my beetle bin i saw tini little weal worms for the first time. They were like shorter than my pinky nail and so hard to see, but there was alot of them. I almost gave up on trying to breed them casue after a month and a half i hadnt seen any thing yet but wow im just soo excited

Isn't that exciting??! Lol the first time I saw the little worms and realized I was doing something right it was like the coolest feeling! (of course nothing's better than seeing your first leo hatch out, but this is a close second lol)

Careful, those colonies grow like crazy after a few months

I tried to take a picture of one that i pulled out for people who have never seen how small a baby one actaully is but it was to small to even see in the picture.

just need a really good zoom...I'd put it on a dime just to show the proportions.

I have a few mealworms that just turned into pupa form if thats what its called. I was thinking about breeding the beetles. How long does it take from pupa to beetle? and after im guessing like a month and a half took like what the OP said?

Yea it took alittle while to become beetles and it took even longer for me to see any mealworms
