Yeah, the mealies were fine....they are in inches and inches of wheat bran, so they had plenty of space to occupy that wasn't warm. (Or too warm.) But the pupa were in a plastic dish, in the sterilite drawer, which was on the stove surface. I had a towel underneath, so that they would have a barrier, but it wasn't enough for the pupa...if they were on top of the wheat bran they would have been fine.
Ugh. Worst worm-life lesson ever! This is the last cold day and then we're back into the 80s on Monday, but I need to get them set up in a system that is well insulated enough to maintain a consistent heat, without a lot of energy output. I'm heading to Lowes and Target for supplies to work on this endeavor.
