Oddly enough, I have a worm article I've been meaning to send you, so check email.
Thanks for these; they're intriguing. And only "eeeww!" if the larvae still moved under the bark. I remember when the kid who was taking down the rotten chicken house, ripping up the floor, and underneath on the subflooring plywood were a million mealworms, yellow-white and wiggling. Too bad the chickens were already living in the new chicken house, or they would have thought heaven had just been revealed to them---banquet heaven. I had never seen so many mealworms in my life, and had no idea they could survive like that, between two layers of flooring, squirming together in one giant mass. There wasn't an inch of space without a mealworm on it...There is certainly something to be said about having sills up off the ground!
