I started wax worms cultures late last year, after reading about it here on the forum (someone had posted the link to the article, which is off-site). I thought I had failed in my attempt for the longest time. For months nothing. Now I over run with them! Whoo hoo!

A few months ago ,I went to tear down my failed cultures and I found some a few large waxworms and some pupa in them. This was long after the original waxworms/moths had died off. At that moment I thought I was a little bit successful, but not enough to get excited over it, there certainly was not enough to feed every one. So the cultures were spared and I started two more. A little while ago I discovered in one of the older cultures loads of active waxworms. They're all over the place! In the media, hanging from the top, and in the crumpled up paper towel I placed in there.

When I first read the article on how to do it, it said that the cultures would generate heat. Up till this point they hadn't. When I picked up the culture it was indeed warm.

So, waxworms for supper tonight, for the frogs that is, salamanders too.
