you don't need heat/lamps for mealworms.they are very heat efficient themselves. too much moisture is a very bad thing. they will drown. When I fist started with mealies, I got 500. they grew to 10,000 and not including eggs and beetles. the carcases get jettisoned to the chickens for a quick treat.
other critters I tried to grow:
hissing roaches
redworms
black soldier flies
crickets
praying mantist
other critters I like to try: that are frolicking free around the backyard:
cave crickets
earwigs
house centepedes (shudderbugs)
