I should have asked you if you know that mealworms can be
stored in the refrigerator. You can keep them in a container
with a couple of air holes. You have to put some food in with
them. Wheat germ, I think. It's been awhile since I had my
batch of mealworms and I've forgotten the instructions that
came with them.

I also don't remember how long they'll live in there.
