Does anyone out there know ANYTHING about breeding mealworms?
Cos... I have masses of mealworm beetles, but none of them have laid eggs, which in turn will become mealworms that I can feed to me frogs.
See:
What is wrong with them? This is the 'baby making' family... and they are 'H' family bugs afterall! Pffffft.
I think I need to read up on them again.
Today... maybe nothing! Skype the family in Australia again this afternoon, we couldn't catch up last night due to me internet being down AGAIN. *sigh*
SEWING... yep I think I will try to get some more work done on the baby quilts today too.
Blog reading will happen tomorrow... once everyone is back to school/work. Peace will reign ... nice.
ONWARD...
I'm making scones for lunch. Yum yum.
Then I am going down to the FREEZING garage to make two special cards.
A dear, dear friend in the USA just lost her husband to cancer... so I want to make her a special card.
AND I still have NOT made a card for Lacy to welcome her wee girl! OMG how bad is that!
I just had a really neat Skype session with the kids in Aussy... got a 'few' photos of the newest addition, Master Bodhi:
ABOVE: he has MONSTER feet! Apparently Tess's Dad has huge feet too.
ABOVE: Young Haylea being a dick.... and I told her I'd put this on me blog! *smiles*
ABOVE: not the best photo, but I love them all!
Right, excitement over, time to get on with me cards...
Ah, can't help you here, I hate worms of any kind!
ReplyDeleteO Chris- What a Lovely new grandie!
ReplyDeleteI Loved your question about the mealworms! How neat is that - I have never raised them either so I found it very interesting!
I love you dear friend.
Hugs-linda
Errrrr I can't help there either, maybe they are all girls or all boys? We are having a very relaxing day in fact I'm still in bed!!!! Getting up now though
ReplyDeleteSorry about the internet - this doesn't help but ours, in the Auckland CBD, is ridiculously slow, for no obvious reason. We also have had intermittent access in the past - very frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you have to feel bad about Keera's card, you were too busy running around spending time with her and supporting Lacy!
Hope you have a good day! Penny xo
Oh my goodness - lost my lunch after seeing those pictures - will have bad dreams tonight. Guess you can tell I have problems about bugs.
ReplyDeleteCute baby , I love his name
ReplyDeleteIt's so great you can skype with your overseas family. You can see little Bodhi in action!
ReplyDeleteGood on Stew for cooking dinner.
How nice you can keep track of the new baby with Scype. His little feet didn't look very big to me!! Maybe if you loosened up the shavings. they look too perfect. They might need to rummage around underneath...lol that's just a guess...lol, I have no clue. good luck...debbie
ReplyDeleteI only know a few things about mealworms...one is that the beetles are pretty quick at eating their own eggs, so one has to watch carefully and separate them fast; and the second is that (I have no idea what kind yours are!) if you have 'superworms', or the ones called 'giant worms', then they are generally sterile (something to do with being treated with a growth hormone, or so my cousin once told me).
ReplyDeleteI hope that helps...but I would much rather look at the pictures of your gorgeous grandchildren!
That little man is just adorable! He has a lot of fat on him that makes very contented newborns.
ReplyDeletecan the frogs eat the beetles?
your skype sessions make me smile, so cute!
