Where can I find meal worms in the wild?
I am setting up bird seed feeders in my back garden but want to have some meal worms on my bird table too but I would want to find them in the wild instead of just buying them from a pet store.
The mealworm is the larval stage (grub) of the yellow mealworm beetle, also called the darkling beetle (Tenebrio molitor). Both the larva and the beetle are nocturnal (active at night), but they are also active during the day.
Diet: Both the adults and the larvae are scavengers that eat grains (hence the name mealworm) and some seedlings. Because of this, it is considered a pest. They also eat decaying material, like decomposing animals and dead plants. They get all the water they need from the food they eat.
Range: This beetle is found in temperate and other regions around the world. They usually live in dark, cool, moist places, like under rocks and logs.
I have found them in old, wet chicken feed. If you live near a farm, you could ask permission to search for them there.
