To continue our study of invertebrates, the students each received a meal worm as a little "pet." The kids are keeping these "worms" in a film canister in their desks and observing them every day. Meal worms are actually just the larval stage of a common insect. A few of the larvae have already turned into their pupal stage and we will have adults soon!
In some countries, insects are commonly eaten. So I bought some freeze-dried, taco-flavored meal worm snacks for the kids to try. Every student tried one and some even wanted seconds!
