Superworms General InformationSuperworms, (zophobas morio), make an excellent and easy to keep feeder insect for many reptile, amphibian, and bird species. Superworms also make great fish bait for Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, and Trout. Superworms are NOT the same animal as Mealworms or Giant Mealworms (tenebrio molitor). Appropriately sized superworms are in fact easily digested as compared to mealworms (a common feeder insect), as they have less chitin. Superworms are easier to keep than mealworms because they normally will not pupate unless forced into certain conditions. While mealworms should be kept in the fridge to prevent them from pupating and becoming beetles, DO NOT refridgerate superworms. |
