10000 Mealworms VS Watermelon Strawberry and Bread - Time Lapse [4K]
Рет қаралды 914,373
3 жыл бұрынThis time I fed my mealworms some slices of watermelon, slices of bread and a couple of strawberries.
Strangely the worms finished the bread the fastest, and even though they started to eat the watermelon and the strawberries at a quick pace they eventually slowed down.
Some info about mealworms:
Mealworms are the larval form of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, a species of darkling beetle. Like all holometabolic insects, they go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Larvae typically measure about 2.5 cm or more, whereas adults are generally between 1.25 and 1.8 cm in length.
Burrowing and eating are a top priority when it comes to being a mealworm, and they will eat just about anything. They will eat grains, vegetables, any organic material, fresh or decaying. This plays a huge role in the ecosystem. Mealworms aid in the decomposition of any spoiled organic material.

Mealworm fun fact:
Mealworms are not worms. They do look wormish, but they are insects. :)

Well, technically no. If left alone, organic matter turns into a kind of sludgy soup. At least, we do. We don’t turn to straighten up dust. And when fruit decomposes, it grows moldy, and in the case of watermelon, seems to turn into a sloppy watery mess. This video is what organisms that aid in decomposition do. 😊
