What do mealworms like to eat?
We placed a sliced apple, ground oatmeal, rice and raisins in a container. Most of the
mealworms wound up in the ground oatmeal.
Wet or Dry Conditions:
We placed a wet paper towel and a dry paper towel in a container. Most of the mealworms actually
wound up under the dry paper towel. Maybe this says more about light/dark!
Wet Food-Damp Food:
On a similar vein we placed an apple on top of ground oatmeal and had plain oatmeal in another
corn. The majority of mealworms wound up in the plain oatmeal.
How do mealworms react when you lightly touch their antenna with a toothpick?
