During one of my orders of waxworms quite a few turned into pupae before I could feed them off (they are a light brown color, not black). I mixed up some wheat bran and organic honey and put it inside a canning jar with a paper towel for a lid. this went into the top of a closet which gets quite warm. I began seeing moths soon after but they quickly perished. I worried they had perished so quickly that they would not have found each other and laid eggs. However, when I opened the contain today, about 3 weeks later, I was surprised at how large the larvae were. They are too large now for my bumblebee toads but I will use them for my arboreal salamanders and grow some up full size for my lizards.
