for mealies it is under a month. you will get thousands upon thousands of mealies. i mean thousands. i personally would set the beetles up in a new container every two weeks. the little worms can kill the beetles. that way you will have 4 sets of worms growing up at different life stages seperated. the beetles for mealies last about 8 weeks. so you may want to start another colony pretty soon. super beetles live for longer, and the worms take longer to hatch, and the beetles are harder to pupate.
