I am raising mealworms for my chickens and farming/fishing prospects. Darkling female beatles lay anywhere from 400-800 eggs.Good assumption is 500 eggs per lifetime.The egg is no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence.
My first batch of mealworms was 500. and please note: I am taking into account a low mortality rate of 50%:
500 worms(1st generation) divided by 2 =250 pupae
250 pupae divided by 2 = 125 beatles
125 beatles divided by 2 = 62 females
62 females x 500 = 31,000 worms(2nd generation)
31,000 worms divided by 2 =1550 pupae
1550 pupae divided by 2 = 7750 beatles
7750 beatles divided by 2 = 3875 females
3875 females x 500 = 1,937,500 worms (3rd generation)
Im 10% into my 3rd generation
193,750 worms to date
