Mealworms aren't really good nor nutritious feeders for beardies. Depending on how old your beardie is the hard exosekeleton can impact and kill your dragon

Crickets, dubia roaches, phoenix/repti/calci-worms, superworms (for beardies 18+inches) and silkworms make great staple diets.

why are you harvesting them, to put them in a separate container prior to becoming beetles?

if you leave them be, they'll turn into beetles on their own.
