They take you thru the breeding process step by step.
So far I have 4 superworms that have turned into beetles. Now we are waiting for them to breed and lay eggs/worms (whatever!). It's a long process....taken 2 months so far.
Good Luck!

It is easy to do.... that is my 9 year old son's job he does for me.
Basically you need a plastic container with 3-4 inches of bran/oats mixed. Put the mealies in and place a piece of potato in daily for moisture. They will grow and then turn into creamy colored bug looking things. When they evolve from that stage they are black beetles. Remove them and place them in another tub set up the same way. They will eat, mate, lay eggs and die.
The eggs hatch as tiny mealworms and you start over again.
Good luck!
