What does a superworm alien look like?

[sunkist]

You wonder why I'm asking right??

I have superworms that I am not currently attempting to breed. That being said, the cats found what looks like a "new" beetle under my bed this week. Meaning it was like flesh colored, all curled up like recently hatched or something. It was not crawling so not sure exactly where it came from. Does anyone have a picture of what a superworm like stage might look like?

Ummm yeah really kinda freaking out now because that is what the cats found. That's the 2nd such loose worm that has been found in my bedroom and I'm not sure how consider the container is closed and I feed them out 1 at a time.

I'd be freaking out too!!! Don't care much for bugs in my house. I live in FL, so believe me I see my fair share of them :shock: . Thank god for cats...you may not have found the beetles without them.

Sunkist didn't you know that super's were magical? :lol:
I too hand feed my beardies their live feeders... my worm and beetle containers have lids... yet Frank has found super worms and beetles in our bed before. My son is forever finding the beetles crawling around the house. It remains a mystery on how they are getting out. :lol:

Okay now you are REALLY freaking me out!!!!! Gee thanks!!!!!

It's important to find them before they leave the "white alien" stage, because the next stage of their life cycle is nothing but trouble.

Also at this point they are too crunchy to feed to your dragon any more. :laughing6:

LOL, I'm sorry, I know that was totally OT. But I want to post a picture of the Alien every single time somebody talks about superworm aliens. I just couldn't resist anymore! And have you ever had a good close look at a superworm alien? They really do look like they were designed by H.R. Giger!
