When I want to hide from the news, I’ve always got bugs to tend. I’ve been neglecting my mealworm colony, so this morning I cleaned it out — it was mostly full of frass, which explains why my harvest was a bit low. Here’s today’s collection.
The frass is in the compost, I scooped up a handful of the larvae to feed the spiders today, and the rest got dumped into a couple pounds of fresh cornmeal with an overripe banana as a treat.
I’ve got to expand this colony, just in case the situation in America becomes even more dire, and I need a source of healthy protein for myself, not just the spiders.
If you run out of mealworms to feed the spiders I’m sure there are plenty of MAGAts to feed them.
The spiders would spit them out.
If it’s protein you want, you can use the mealworms to trade up. Big Cormorant, to the east of you, has a respectable population of crappies and bluegills and they love them some mealworms. Just got to get through those three feet of ice.
