Just found this in my mealworm tub. Do i need to do anything with it.
Is it an adult worm thats ready to turn to a beetle or is it dead

I thought they looked like aliens when I first saw them lol. They just lie there with their tails spinning occasionally and then they turn into reddish beetles, which doesn't take long. I don't think you need to do anything special, I just kept mine warm.

use substrate--crushed up cereals--or play sand

all you need is a livefood tub and substrate then when the beetles hatch just add a bit of an egg tray

and they will take about 2-3 weeks

I just used cheap porridge oats for substrate. They eat it, live in it and lay eggs in it.

My colonies provide me with over 2000 mealies a week, so I must be doing something right!
