    Mealworms are the larval stage of the Tenebrio beetle. Their full life cycle from egg to adult beetle takes 6-10 weeks depending on temperature and nutrients. To maintain a mealworm culture, transfer the larvae to a ventilated container with a screened top, feed them non-processed bran, and keep small amounts of moisture like potato or apple slices. Change the food every two weeks and the larvae will pupate on the surface when ready.
