Edible Insects

I bought 50 mealworms from the pet shop [they are actually beetle larvae], & am breeding them as a food source in an icecream tub in my pantry..in a few weeks they will pupate, then hatch as beetles, reproduce, lay eggs [about 500 per female] with will pupate - at this stage they are edible...see more info at
