Wax worms, the larvae of the greater wax moth, survive by feeding on beeswax and other organic materials found in beehives. They possess specialized enzymes that enable them to break down the complex hydrocarbons in wax, which most organisms cannot digest. Additionally, their ability to thrive in low-oxygen environments, such as those found in beehives, helps them survive where other species might struggle. This unique adaptation allows them to flourish in a niche environment where they have few natural predators.

Do you need holes in the container that you would keep a wax worms in?

Yes, it's important to have holes in the container for wax worms to ensure proper ventilation. Wax worms require fresh air to survive, and without ventilation, the container can become too humid and lead to mold or suffocation.

Occasionally. My newt, which I caught from the wild, has eaten some. Wax worms are for less aquatic newts, but Blood worms are better for more aquatic/aquatic newts.
