Mommato, those baby worms are sooooo small that it is difficult to see them with the naked eye. If your beetles were alive for 2 mo. I'd bet thaat you have quite a few babies. Figure that many of the beetles(some of those beetles were male so no eggs from them) laid 300 eggs-that is a bunch of babies!! There is an excellent mealworm farming thread that will answer all your questions and there are pic as well. Wetknollamy has a terrific tutorial on her page. Look under breeds for it. You are right that our lower temps will slow things down. I have my bin on a rack and I sandwiched a heating pad on low between towels. I put the bins on that and it seems to help. The temp in the mealworm room is a constant 60* and I notice that my pupae are dying rather than morphing. Will get another heating pad and I think that will solve my problem. Good luck
BTW you can feed those dead beetles to the chickens. My think they are a great delicacy!!
