Yes, they are entirely different. Mealworms are the intermediate life stage of a beetle. You can buy 'em at PetSmart or PetCo, usually - but they're more expensive there. Some feed stores sell meal worms. Some bait shops sell 'em. You can even buy 'em online. There are BIG ones...
Well, live ones are MUCH less expensive, but they do have an expiration date (death). I've used both and far prefer the live ones, even if I can't bring myself to hand feed them to my chickens. I put them in a special dish for them....
I won't buy the freeze-dried ones any more - far too...
