They will turn into moths in about a week or so. If you want to try breeding them, put them in a taller container with room to fly. Crumple up some paper for them to lay their eggs on. The moths mate and then die within a few days to a week. Remove the dead and add some bran/oat mixed with honey for when the eggs hatch. Keep it warm. I’ve been trying to breed them since January and have found it’s more trouble than it’s worth. If you don’t want to breed them, let them hatch in your chams enclosure for a moths snack. They are brutal to beehives so don’t just toss in the trash.
Do waxmoths eat honey?
Mine are taking their time. It's been almost three weeks since they've pupated and still no moths?
I don’t think the moths eat. The larvae (worms) do like honey. This might help. https://www.wormman.com/cat_wax.cfm
Yeah you can go from 10 mealworms to 200 in like a month lol. This is my first cycle trying to breed waxworms we'll see how it goes.
Wishing you luck! I’m thinking what I did wrong was I keep them too cool. I should have put them in my garage where it is hot. (Florida - hot year round).
Ok will look out for that lol. How long does it take to go from stage 2 to 3? ive been waiting weeks.
Worm man says about 2 weeks to hatch into moths.
Thanks, I think I’ve read that as well
