FIVE KEY FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEALWORMS:
1) They are the larval stage of the Darkling Beetle, Tenebrio molitor.
2) I am starting my colony for my birthday on 15th November.
3) They make great pets. Really easy to keep; amiable; harmless; and adorable.
4) They are also great food for garden birds! High in fat, protein and calories. Birds don't do diets.
5) Believe it or not, they are also edible to us - for much the same reasons as birds. Tasting like seeds or nuts, serve them raw and live, roasted, fried, on soup, dipped in chocolate, in biscuits and cakes, or pretty much any other recipe you can think of!
