Mealworms are actually larva which grow into pupa and finally adult beetles. These feeder insects are a popular food source for reptiles and one of the most widely used feeder insects. If you have purchased mealworms to be used as food for your reptile or if you are feeding birds, store the live mealworms in the refrigerator. This keeps the mealworms in astate of hibernation where they will last for quite some time, providing you with many weeks of live pet food. 

Use Armstrong’s worms to aid in composting- breaking down waste and saving the earth. Worm composting, or vermiculture, is the use of worms to recycle food scraps and other organic material into rich, valuable soil. Worms eat scraps of food, which then become compost as they pass through the worm’s body. The compost departs the worm and can be used to aid the growth of plants.
