Figure 1 â Beetle Egg Development Rates/Temperatures As temperature increases in the litter and floor, the period of time required for a darkling beetle egg to hatch decreases from an average of 13.4 days to 2.56 days at 100Â° F. Temperatures below 68Â° F delay egg hatching beyond the 13.4 day period.
Mealworms are the brown worm-like larvae of darkling beetles. They are the second of four stages of life and exist to eat and grow until they have enough energy stored to begin transformation into pupae and then beetles.ll you have to do is take them out of the refrigerator about once a week and give them some food for a few hours. They are also easy to raise and reproduce in large numbers. A female darkling beetle can lay hundreds of eggs. Dried mealworms are worms that have been freeze dried or slowly oven dried.
