Tenebrio molitor
Our founder Fred Rhyme discovered the secret to growing the Giant Mealworm in the 1950s. We are very proud of that!
These Giants are larger and thicker than ordinary mealworms at 1 1/4" long.
They're perfect for reptiles that want a worm larger than our standard Mealworm, but not as big as our Superworm.
Mid size bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, wild birds, and chickens love them.
Fishermen: trout, bass, crappie, perch, bluegill and other panfish strike at these golden giant mealworms! They were featured on Field and Stream
Please note that due to their rearing Giant mealworms will not pupate and breed readily. If you would like to breed your own mealworms we recommend our standard mealworms.
