Are Superworms the same as Giant Mealworms?
No, but they are often confused with giant mealworms. Giant mealworms are treated with hormones to inhibit the larvae from pupating, therefore causing the giants to continue to feed and grow. Superworms, on the other hand, are the larvae of a beetle much larger than the common mealworm beetle. Superworms grow naturally to their one and a half to two inch size, over a period of many months.
