I had an old container with reptilefood.com mealworm bedding (Looks like woodchips, but they say its a food source as well as bedding). I used them up, then switched to silkworms. I was pretty sure there were no mealworms left, and I had it sitting around for over a month. Didn't spray it with water or anything. Well, I opened it up last night to see how much bedding I had (Thinking of switching my leos back to mealworms) and saw that I must've missed two worms. Why? I had two beetles crawling up top. What's the life expectancy once in beetle form? I'm not exactly thrilled with having these beetles here, especially when I can't tell if they'll even breed, since I can't tell if they're male/female. Hopefully they'll just die off soon or something.
