Default morio / mealworm
Can someone please explain the differences between a morio worm and a giant mealworm?

As far as I'm aware morios are a totally different species to mealworms but I'm sure some-one else can explain the difference properly.

Size lol. Morios have a softer shell and are therefore easier to digest, morios are also more nutritious and slightly harder to breed
