Steve, Check out www.minimealworms.com They have video of the worms and how active they are.

Marcia, I tried to start a colony of them but wasn't succesful. What did you do?. I'm thinking maybe I didn't have them in a warm enough place. I also keep a mealworm colony just in case I hit a dry spell with other feeders. Good back up.

I wondered how you sorted out the roaches. I don't do well touching them either. If one gets on my hand I flail about till it's off. Bet that looks funny. I'm going to start an orange spot colony I guess. Slower is better.

I tried something called spikes ( a fly larva I think) but they got a cool reception. Not lively enough. I still haven't found out what twisters are.

I've had good luck with the hornworms but even at 100 (always overcounted) for $30 they are steep. I'm pretty much using worms, roaches, and crickets with the odd feeder thrown in.
