When they fist hatch, are they a lot smaller than the one posted beside the tomato seed?

When first hatched they are not bigger than a tomato seed. Wish I would have used something like that for a reference when I photographed newly hatched wormies.

You reminded me though that I haven't posted those photos...so here they are!

In this photo, there is an unhatched mealworm egg straight down from the pen point. It is the kinda oblong, smooth shaped thing. Wish I knew how to put a circle around something in a photo!

VERY helpful--thank you! Guess mine haven't hatched yet, lol. These look great for feeding tiny quail.

Nevermind--I have a bunch of teeny, tiny babies. Good camera--these guys are TINY.

Yeah, we moved here when I was a little girl and kind-of bounced back and forth. I like it here--mountains and nice people. Not to mention this is where I met my husband, hehe.
