Do mealworms live in a hot environment or a cold environment?

Answer 1

I am a year eight student and as part of an experiment is my science course we placed 30 meal worms on a large petri dish a put a beaker full with iced water on one side and boiled water on the other. We tested it fairly 3 times and found the meal worms preferred the cold side of the petri dish. I hope this helps

Answer 2

In the winter, our house is pretty cold, between 62 and 71 , in the summer it is between 80-85, warmer than most people keep it. At either extreme the mealworms and pupae are fine, but if you are running the heat, the mealworm and pupae need a humidifier is the air is dry or the mealworms have trouble successfully turning into pupae and the pupae often dry out, and don't turn into beetles.
