I was starting to think that my mealworm setup was flawed. I set it up over two months ago, had beetles over a month ago, and kept checking the egg drawers and nada, nothing. I even threw out a drawer full because I figured it was too early for the beetles to lay eggs. Oops. The hatched mealworms are just TINY. I looked again and actually saw movement! I took a picture, circled the end of a mealworm, then when I put this post together, saw several more in the picture. Tiny. Smaller than a rolled oat. That the lettuce leaf (my darkling beetles like lettuce better than carrots) I had in the drawer now has holes was a good indication too. Ha!
