They've hatched!

Yet more babies! Well, kind of! Our mealworms have hatched into beetles! 2 of them at least! So we have now placed a piece of potato in the jar for them to eat......

We bought 100 mealworms for $2 a couple of months ago....we put them in a large jar with oatmeal and left them to it. They eventually pupate and then the beetles come out a couple of weeks later......kind of cool to watch in a weird gross way ;) but interesting to study as a lifecycle! Different to butterflies! Although Lloyd wants to study silk moths next....

(woohoo Oilers score again!!! it's 2-0 to the Oilers!!!!)
