Well, if I was a buyer that had these turning from worms into beetles in under a week, I might be unhappy but for me, I am so excited, in my Group 1, the nice big active ones, I have a number (I have counted five so far) that have hatched from worm to beetle, they are so new that they have not turned black yet but its coming!.

I was doing a routine check on if I needed to replace the carrot ends with some banana peel and was shocked to see this little guy, and then more of them.. but very pleased as well.. that means that within the next six weeks, I would have thousands of new eggs being laid for the coming crop, which should be ready at the same time as my planned chicks and wee tiny keets..
