![]() Film canisters, condiment cups and tackle boxes are the most commonly used products to isolate the superworms. One of the main reasons that a superworm will not pupate is because it is not old enough yet. There are many different factors that go into pupating. It is important to keep in mind that not all superworms that you isolate will pupate. Meaning that they cannot have access to any other animals, food or water. ![]() Superworms need to be isolated completely in order to morph into a pupa. One of the most difficult parts of breeding superworms is getting them to morph into a pupa. Superworms turn into pupa and then pupa turn into darkling beetles which then reproduce and lay eggs which hatch into superworms, starting the entire process over again. Because of this, when super worms are in a communal setting, they will not morph into a pupa. Keeping clean air by using air purifiers or opening windows is also a great way to remove dust and reduce the smell. Using a face mask and gloves can help reduce the chance of developing an allergy to the superworms. This may not affect everyone, but some may develop an allergy right away or months into the breeding process. ![]() When breeding super worms, dust fills the air during harvesting or pouring in new bedding. I highly recommend that you purchase a face mask at your local mom and pop store (support small businesses!).
