Mealworms and Pupas! Oh My!

Today we got our mealworms out again. We were excited to notice lots of changes. Last week, we all had mealworms (larva stage). This week about half of the mealworms turned into pupas! They look very different when they are in the pupa stage. They don't try to crawl off the plate when they are pupas either.
