Superworms Become Beetles in 40 Seconds

Watch as our superworms become beetles.  We used an Ipod Touch, on the time lapse camera to capture superworms morphing into beetles.  After they morph they crawl away so watch closely.

The actual time was about 6 hours.  On our farm we actually place the pupa on a bed of slightly moistened coir in order to help the worms pupate properly so that they are fully formed and not deformed.
