Chinese insect fans Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 They look like mealworms, but the adults are only 0.6 mm in length. Many local people in my country keep them because they believe that they can be made into medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Looks like lesser mealworms. I keep them in my roach colonies to help keep things clean. Here's an article on them: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/livestock/poultry/lesser_mealworm.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
