The Mealworm Research Project

So far group 4, Lizbeth Galindo, Megan Ymbert and Martin Rodriguez has researched mealsworms online.

Some Facts:
A mealworm is not a worm. It is a larva of a beetle. First a mealworm will start off as an egg. It takes about 4 to 19 days for the egg to hatch. It then becomes a mealworm. It then enters a pupa stage. This stage lasts from 2-3 weeks up to 9 months. At the pupa stage, it does not eat. The pupa stage is transforming itself into an adult beetle. The adult beetle lives for about a year.

Vocabulary:
pupa- The nonfeeding stage between the larva and adult in the metamorphosis of insects.
transform- To change the nature, function, or condition of.
decay- Dying, decomposing matter.
metamorphisis- Passing through four separate stages of growth.
hatch- To emerge from or break out of an egg.

Goal:
Our group question that we are going to research is "Where do mealworms live?" Our group is going to look in some books to find the answer.
