Meal worm's life cycle is 3-5 months. First it is a tiny white egg which will hatch in about 1-2 weeks. The next stage is a larva. It is a worm-like creature but only has 6 legs. It will stay in this stage for 3 - 4 weeks.Then it turns into a pupa. It is yellowish-brown. The mealworms are inactive at this stage. Finally it turns into a beetle. First the beetle is white, sowly turns brown, and then finally black. The beetle will eventually die and the life cycle will start all over again. A female can lay up to 500 eggs in her lifetime.

What is the life cycle of a mealworm beetle, including its transformation into a fly?

The life cycle of a mealworm beetle starts as an egg, which hatches into a larva (mealworm). The larva grows and molts several times before transforming into a pupa. Inside the pupa, the mealworm undergoes metamorphosis and eventually emerges as an adult beetle. The adult beetle then mates and lays eggs, starting the cycle again. The transformation into a fly does not occur in the life cycle of a mealworm beetle.

What type of metamorphosis does a mealworm have?

A mealworm undergoes complete metamorphosis, which includes four distinct life stages: egg, larva (mealworm), pupa, and adult (beetle). After hatching from the egg, the mealworm larva feeds and grows before entering the pupal stage, during which it undergoes significant transformation. Finally, it emerges as an adult darkling beetle. This process allows for significant changes in form and function throughout its life cycle.
