Who will you meet?
Meet Justin, the Owner of Midwest Mealworms. He’ll meet you at the agreed upon location wearing a Midwest Mealworms shirt and driving the Midwest Mealworms Mobile!
What you should bring
Your mealworms will be cooled in a fridge prior to pick-up, and delivered in a cooler. If you will not have them in a fridge within an hour, bring a cooler to transport them home in.
General
How do I store them?
After you’ve purchased your mealworms, store them in your fridge. This keeps them dormant. The lid will have air holes, store vertically. They will live for approximately 30 days, with some die off.
What type of packaging do you use?
We use recyclable deli-style plastic containers.
Do you really count every Mealworm?
We could, but that would take quite a while! Instead, we weigh the mealworms when you purchase them. We also add 10-15% more weight than you order to account for variation and any die off that may occur.
How big is a Mealworm?
Mealworms start out extremely small. When ready for general use, they will average 1 inch in length.
