No. Mealworms are the larvae of mealworm beetles. Mealworms/beetles are common. They eat a range of foods and are easy to breed. They are common research subjects. It's not a bad idea for questions about endangerment to include the locality you are interested in.
Mealworms are hatched from the eggs of a beetle. The eggs hatch into mealworms. The mealworms turn into a pupa. The pupa hatch into beetles. The beetle then lays more eggs and the cycle begins again.
Mealworms are the larval form of darkling beetles, which belong to the Tenebrionidae family of beetles.
