  2. Life Cycle • A super worm is actually in it’s larval stage when it is a worm. • As an adult, the super worm turns into a beetle. • Other names are flour or grain beetle.

  3. Life Cycle • There are 4 parts to each super worm life cycle. • Egg  Larva  Pupa  Adult • The first part of the life cycle only lasts from 3 months.

  4. The Egg • Small and white • Hard to see • They hatch in a couple of days!!! • Shortest part of the life cycle. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Sh9ZnYE3M0

  5. Larval Cycle • The longest part of the cycle. • This is when it is a worm. • The worm sheds it’s exoskeleton lots of times. This is calledmolting. • This makes it grow one section each time. The last MOLT turns into the pupae!!!

  6. Pupae • This is the stage when metamorphosistakes place! • The super worms will begin to curl inwards. Their head will curl towards their tail. • They make a cocoon out of silk! It will harden and make a shell. • This stage takes about 10-14 days. • A beetle will emerge when it’s done!

  7. The last stage- Adult • First they are white/yellow and soft. • Then they harden and turn from white to black! • Adult beetles live for 3-15 years. • During this time the female beetles need to lay eggs. • They lay about 500 eggs!!!
