I read that they live for about 5-10 days, but I have had mine for a month now.I put the bedding in a separate container and had lots of meal worms. but the adults haven't died yet.

Mine has lived for about 2 months.Isn't that weird?I still see no eggs nor mealworms. Is my beetle going to die? I wonder if he's sick.All my friends at school said that thiers had died.

Where do darkling beetles live?

If your doing a class project/at home what you'd really want is have a run way. make sure your darkling beetles have friends to! Darkling beetles got their name because they are relaxed in dark, secretive corners, so give them that! They also eat decaying leaves, rotting wood, etc. If you have a runway or any other shelter, if your darkling beetles start climbing up--don't worry, they won't jump out! I've done a class project on darkling beetles before and they are very interesting animals and use their anntenae a lot. They are nocturanl animals, so do not move much in the day.
