Superworm Beetles

[Linds]

I have two questions about these guys...

1) What is their real name?... hehehe I'm sure they aren't called superworm or zoophoba beetles

2) Thanks to my cat, I keep finding superworms, the aliens, and the beetles all over my house. Bad because I am finding them everywhere, and their are people here that are not impressed! Good because now I finally have a decent shot of starting a colony after several failed attempts. Anyways, I can't seem to keep them alive for the life of me, which was the same problem I was having before when I tried this (only I didn't manage to pupate half as many as I am now). They seem to die after only days My setup is probably a bit unconventional... however this was working for them before I caught them and it wasn't the same way I was keeping them in the past, so I'm sure the new bits and peices aren't to blame
<center>+ opaque rubbermaid w/ screened top
+ substrate of various grains, etc (my mealie recipe)
+ mixed in to the substrate are old socks and plastic bags fopr security) these are mainly where I was finding the beetles and aliens around the house)
+ various greens, fruits, and veggies for moisture and food
+ temps range from 80-85

So what am I doing wrong? Or do they jsut have a very short lifespan?
