bbsnooks, you don't need to wet the paper at all. Just lay the carrots on top of the paper and that will be plenty of moisture. Otherwise you will have a serious mold problem and also mites.
onafixedincome, I agree! I have been quietly chuckling over the folks counting each pupa and waiting until they have an explosion of worms like I did! There won't be any counting in a month I guarantee!
I still recommend Amy's mealworms, it's like they were on fertility drugs. I think they're on a 3rd generation already, as many as there are now. I love hearing them rustling around in the paper in their bins!
Also, we have bluebirds! I put some more mealworms out yesterday and the bluebirds came! And some of the cardinals are trying them too. I got this pic of the birds in my makeshift birdbath.
