How long does it take the egg to hatch and grow into a superworm?

What are the black beetles?

Black beetles are what the worms become so that they can lay eggs. That is a nice load of superworms pal. I had this problem X10 with crickets. I ended up having more than I could handle, I began giving them away to my neighbor, until one day the dog knocked over their bin and hundred of the ba$tards scattered across my backyard...I had no choice and I ended up culling the herd with Ortho...
It depends on the temperature to some degree but it took mine about 5 months from the time I started to when the worms were full adult size.i could see some movement in the substrate after about 6 weeks or so after I removed the beetles. I had worms large enough to feed in about 31/2 months but they were still not large enough to pupate yet. Hope that helps but if you have any other questions feel free to hit me up!!!

Looks like you got the answer before I could respond.
Meal worms or superworms ? They are done differently

Our guys are on a diet,,, crickets and roaches only,, until they lose some weight.. (I do slip Stanley a strawberry on occasion!)
