Are your pupae still an off white or have they turn dark brown/black? If still a light shade (not white but not dark) then they are most probably still good and just need more time. At the beginning of this thread are some pictures of healthy, live pupae. See Hannakat's page at https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/mealworm-fam-experiences. She has posted some really good pictures. Hope this helps.I have loads of pupae who have not turned into beetles and we are in our 4th / 5th week of my farm could they be dead, or is it still to cold here, its spring and has not been that warm ? I keep looking hoping they have hatched into beetles but still nothing. Advice please thanks Julie
