It usually takes a few weeks to have the mealworms pupate. They are white, unfortunatlye i don't have pics of them. They are white and lay sort of curled up on their backs and don't move. they only wiggle if they are squeezed. once they pupate it'll take a week to turn into a beetle, then once you have beetles, a few weeks after they die, you should find some baby mealies.
