On arrival of Superworms, place them in a slick-sided container with either wheat bran or oats. When bedding becomes sandy in appearance, add more substance such as corn meal, wheat germ, or rolled oats. Provide a moisture source through small pieces of potatoes, carrots or apples. Do not refrigerate Superworms as it is too cold and will kill them. Superworms can withstand heat up to 90 F for short periods of time. Ideal temps are in the mid to high 70s. Superworms are the larva stage (stage 2) of the Morio beetle. Supers will not change into a pupa or beetle as long as they are kept together in a group with other superworms. Superworms have a life expectancy of around three months, and can stay in the larvae stage up to a year. |
