Mealworms
By: Jackson, Sloan, Ayan, Christan

2. Habitat
Mealworms love to live under rocks or logs where it is nice and warm.
The places that mealworms live in would be misty, damp and the soil would be rich.
Another place you might find a mealworm could be a barn where there is long grass and dirt
These are the things a mealworm needs in his/her home.

3. Life Cycle
First a dark wing starts of as a egg then becomes a larval once it has finished that stage it will become a pupa finally it is a dark wing beetle.
During the entire life cycle of a Dark Wing beetle is about a year, but it depends on how fast the insect ate as a mealworm.

4. Body A mealworm body has three body parts.
They are a head, thoarx, and a abdomen. When they’re in a egg the are about 2 mm. long and 9 mm.
They can grow to 35 mm. long. mealworm have six legs like most insects and six jointed legs, A hard exo-skeleton,two antennaes, compound eyes, and a body divided into three parts.
It would be very hard to weigh a mealworm but I know it would weigh less than a ounce!

5. Life Cycle 2
If the mealworm ate fast then he or she would be in the larva stage for about two weeks.
Once in the pupa stage the mealworm could stay like that for up to six weeks.
Finally when all the waiting is done you have a dark Wing beetle,
The beetle will stay like that until the year is up or until he is smashed by a child.

6. Behaviors 1.Some Darkling beetles eat other insects and some don't.
2. Some Darkling beetles live up to months or years. Darkling beetles have four wings .
3.they come in many different colors and shapes.
4.Frogs are predators that eat insects. some beetles descise themselves of being eaten.
