Answer 2

Mealworms are the larva stage of the Darkling Beetle or Tenebrio Beetle. This Adult meal worm is a nocturnal beetle that is approximately one inch in length and dark brown or black in color with a hard outer shell. The Darkling Beetle has a similar lifecycle to a butterfly or a moth and develops through a four stage complete metamorphosis which starts as an egg that hatches to a larva then transforms to a pupa and completes the life cycle as an adult. This process begins with a female Darkling beetle burrowing into soft ground and laying anywhere from 270 to 500 small white bean shaped eggs at one time or in small batches in the spring. These eggs are tiny and one egg is barely visible to the naked eye. The eggs hatch in 4 to 20 days depending on temperature and the hatched larvae are mealworms. These mealworms are between ½ and ¾ inches in length with a full grown larva at about 1 ¼ inches long. Mealworms are light golden in color, darkening as they near their next stage in life. The larval stage can last from 90 up to 114 days. At their last molt they curl up and start the pupae stage.
