Wtf is this

[SageTheVeiled]

I found this thing in my mealworms thing when trying to feed my chameleon. I thought it could be a baby but it's like 5 times the size of the small ones I have....This almost looks like a pupa like what a butterfly would go in. I grab it tightly and this thing wiggles and moves around? Help!

It IS a pupa - the mealworms pupate and emerge as beetles. They are actually very easy to breed! Those things look like aliens though, lol! It could be a superworm pupa - they are larger than regular mealworm pupae.

It is indeed a pupa. If you leave it, it'll turn into a beetle

one of your mealworms is starting to turn into a beetle.

That's super cool! Can I feed the beetle to the cham? And how long does it take for this thing to hatch?

A few weeks and yes you can feed them.
