I knew that salamanders eat them (because I used to have to feed them to lab salamanders in a Neuroscience lab), but didn’t know that birds ate them. Which type of bird do the mealworms bring to your garden?

My son just kept a few mealworms for his Science class about life cycles- growing them into beetles. But, amazingly, the worms escaped. They only needed some oats and a bit of juicy apple or banana to keep them going. The kids liked seeing them molt. Unfortunately, they jumped ship before we could see them as adults.

Need to get back in the habit.
