#superworms
Baja blast was very excited for his meal! He requested “superworms and only superworms” tonight just like he has for the last year! He ignored the delicious dubia roaches 🦎

Museums could use ravenous superworms to clean skeletons
Museums could use ravenous superworms to clean skeletons instead of boiling or beetles. An optimal ratio of 10-15 grams of larvae per gram of specimen minimized cleaning time with no bone damage. arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Astoria the Wild Turkey does not trust anything in a container, even these tasty superworms—she regards them with suspicion. When we put them on the floor, she gobbles them up. 🦃 💕 🪱

Museum curators faced with cleaning animal skeletons for display may soon turn to an unusual new tool: flesh-eating beetle larvae known as “superworms.”

This is serving #3 or 4, losing count 🤣
Each serving is not large, no sense in being wasteful if by some chance he wasn’t hungry 🤣
And in his defense, I think there has been ‘shrinkflation’ happening with the superworms, last couple batches were not very super. Not minoot 🤏, but..

Ravi made a kinda regular 3pm visit. I pointed to the self serve bowl that was freshened up with some super sized superworms. I think he got the idea 😄 Either he was not too hungry or is used to the smaller size lately. He had a few but left a few. 🪶 roadrunner

Oh your Scorpio tarantula is definitely not happy with the freeze dried crickets. Definitely start feeding the superworms next full moon

I was watering the bugs and giving my gecko his dinner when I NOTICED SOMETHING

COMPUTER ENHANCE.......

First baby snails of 2026! 😭 (also got some superworms in various stages of coziness under there apparently lol)

Ravi!
I don’t know if he came by yesterday, away at work. He was here Sunday.
Ravi started in the mealworm bowl and moved to the big bowl with superworms to finish.

Darwin is being very cute and inquisitive trying to offset my anxious mood.

Scootie during his visit today - crest and tail feathers at attention!
He’s keeping an eye on Connie as she has the snacks this time! He does a good job catching the big superworms in the air if it’s a good toss. 🪶

Scrub jay came back for more on this #ThursJay.
It packed in as many giant mealworms as its throat could manage (bulging) and then filled the beak with superworms! #birds

If you ever kept superworms as feeders or to learn about beetle life cycle, you probably know that they turn into a black darkling beetle, Zoophobas morio.
Here's a beautiful close relative from Belize, Zoophobas signatus. I wonder if it could be easily reared in captivity too. I think it's stunning

Just wanting to point out it never stops with museums using the ravenous superworms to clean skeletons.

Scientists have identified plastic-eating superworms that could potentially solve the plastic waste crisis around the world. Their larvae can survive on polystyrene, one of the most common forms of plastic waste in landfills.
