The yellow mealworm (Tenebrio Molitor) is a beetle of the tenebrionidae.

The life cycle of the insect consists of four steps : beetle uf larva pupa.

The beetle itself is not very well known. Its larva (mealworms) is much more. On the one hand, because it constitutes an important source of food for birds and reptiles, and on the other hand, because of the harmful character when it is present in large numbers. Animals in captivity are particularly fond of. Only the larva is sold on a large scale as animal feeder. The beetle is definitely not at this end, except for the reptiles and amphibians. To get beetles, it is enough to wait the larvae nymphosent to turn it into adult insects.

In nature, we find the mealworms in the old wooden, in peel tree dead, but also in wheat flour, for example, which makes it especially harmful to companies that specialize in the treatment of grain and flour. Mealworms are used as food for the arthropods that are bred in captivity, like tarantulas, scorpions and praying mantises. They are also very popular with insectivorous birds, various reptiles and even some fish. However, it is important to note that a good number of birds, reptiles and fish do not digest the shell is relatively tough and rich in chitin.

In poultry, the to flour is grown on a mixture of wheat, wheat bran and vegetables, without the addition of synthetic products or other growth promotants.

As a result of a procedure débouillantage and freezing shock provided by our own facilities, mealworms free of any bacteria are sterile. The residual fraction of bacteria and mold is far below the applicable standards for food and feed. The frequent monitoring supported by analyses to ensure careful monitoring of the entire procedure. This double treatment makes the worms more digestible.
