yellow mealworm

Yellow mealworm beetles are one of the largest insect pests that infest stored food products. The adult beetles are sturdy black elongated beetles with parallel sides. The antennae are slightly longer than the width of the head, and thicken gradually towards tips without clubbed ends. The larvae start off white and darken as they mature becoming brownish yellow and then brown. The mealworm larvae are smooth and shiny with a hard cylindrical body about 3mm in diameter and about 25mm long. The pupae are white at turning yellow and then brown as they mature.
