What worms become....

[HarleyGirl]

Any idea what butters/waxes/silks etc.... turn into?
I know phoenix worms turn into a fly type bug and I have seen waxes turn into a moth-type flying bug, but do any turn into a beetle-looking bug?
I am only asking b/c I found a beetle-looking bug in my cham's cage, so I am assuming one of the worms went wandering and turned into something new. My cham ate it, so I hope it's ok he ate it in that form and not as a worm.
It was extremely crunchy...ewww

I know meal worms turn into beetles :| I raised them for my female to eat once.
If that was the case, mealworms are larvea stage for like 4-5 days i think, then turn into a beetle, they get black within 2-3 days.
