Ok i have 16 superworm beetles, and i have placed them in the container for about 2 weeks now. I have removed them into antoher container. I use bran as subtrate and use apples to feed the beetles. Now when i took these beetles in the other container i could see little peices of bran moving which freaked me out. What i saw after looking 30 mins straight was that there was something that looked like a centipede. Now i took another look cause i only saw 1 of those guys. I took another look and it looked like little hair lace, which i hope is not. There are tons and tons of those little guys. My question is what does a baby super worm look like! I need you help guys

Thanks,

Yes, they're pretty tiny, but if you have doubts, raise them up a little more and see how they look as 'adults' (not really, but you know what I mean). =)

Those bugs must have found their way in there on their own. No idea what they could be.

You are well on your way to having a mealworm colony, so far so good, best of luck

Thebest thing to do wouldbe to get a magnifying glass and get a closer look. You should see just really tiny worms that are white. It takes some time for the skin to harden and turn yellowish. The warmer the temp the faster the growth.
