Size
I was going to correct the size, then I saw it said -circumference- instead of length. That's about right, but I don't think the size of the adults is right. The one thing I remember about raising mealworms is that the adults are so bizarrely smaller than the larvae.. the mealworms are well over an inch long, while the adult darkling beetles are not even 3/4 of an inch..
Mealworms as pests
Since mealworms are a common pest, it would be helpful to have information (perhaps external links or links elsewhere in wikipedia) on how to prevent your flour from being infested by mealworms. The current page says that cooked mealworms are edible by humans, but it would also be useful to say whether there is any danger to eating uncooked flour (e.g., cookie dough) that may contain eggs or larvae -- e.g., might they carry (or be) gastrointestinal parasites?
It would also be interesting to know how granaries, millers, bakers and grocers deal with mealworms and similar pests on a larger scale.
I'm experimenting on how far a mealworm can go in just a minute. Do any of you know the answer?
Proposal to remove irrelevant content
The first paragraph under "Mating" should be removed due to irrelevance. It is not pertinent to the section or overall article. Mallomarmeasle (talk) 16:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- On further reading the article, I see that the Talk topic above "Infected" refers to this same issue. Removal of the sentences that include reference to infection would fix this. Mallomarmeasle (talk) 16:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
