A bird perching on the rim would peer down inside the pipe at a real mealworm lying on a clear window with a view of the computer screen below. |
The darkling beetle or lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, is rapidly becoming more of a nuisance in the poultry operation. |
During early research, they used cadavers of Tenebrio molitor, commonly known as the yellow mealworm, and Galleria mellonella, or greater wax moth. |
Additional ghoulish goodies sure to get a scream are wax moth trail mix, popcorn insect crunch, and mealworm spice cake. |
The mealworm is offered as feed to captive arthropods like bird spiders, scorpions and praying mantises. |
In our farms, the mealworm is bred on a mixture of wheat, wheat bran and vegetables without any added growth promoters or chemicals. |
