Question Waxworm to Waxmoth?

Anyone got any pictures of what waxworms look like when they're turning into waxmoths? I think mine are but I'm not sure!

Hey people! Sorry I've been offline for ages, I managed to blow up my RAM last week and have just got the replacements through! All good now though! Also, just want to thank everyone who voted for my pic in POTM! I came 3rd! So proud of my little guy! I've updated the pics of my setup if you want to take a look!

Ok then, I'm fairly sure I do, how long till they hatch? Do they need any specific temperature, humidity etc?

Default re wax worms to moths

I have a container full of cocoons of waxworms and also wax moths.
I dont do anything special for them.
All i did was to tip the waxworms into an empty locust/cricket conatiner along with their sawdust they came in. I then just left them in my kitchen (where its warmer.) I got loads of moths now to feed my c/lizzard who loves them to bits and sometimes to the geckos.
Just leave them be and let nature take its course.
Google waxworm moths and you will see what they look like.
They just grey little things.
Hope this Helps.

I keep mine in the pot they came in...it takes weeks for them to appear as moths, but worth the wait as my beardies love chasing them around the viv!
