THE BEETLE STAGE!!!

This week we had a couple of beetles born, a couple more perish, and the other mealworms are starting to get chubby and head into the pupa stage. See pictures below!

Mealworm...you need to eat!!!

This mealworm is getting chunky!!

Ahhh...beetle!!!

In the pupa stage they form into the adult beetle!!

The beetle still likes the apple.

Come on mealworm...eat, eat, eat, so you can transform!!

The mealworms will be coming home shortly for the students to take care of or they can be let go into nature.  We have really enjoyed our study of the life cycle of a beetle!
