Creepy Crawlies on the Farm

Recently we took the plunge and added some bugs to our farm. Worms, to be precise. We have red wrigglers, which honestly don't seem to be flourishing and that's been a little difficult to figure out just what we're doing wrong. So I'm not going to show you those, as there's just not much to see yet.

But the mealworms are doing fantastic! As gross as it is, I love these little nasties! They're so easy to take care of and propagate, and our numbers have probably more than tripled since we first started.
Watching them grow throughout their life cycle has been so interesting! And the kids really enjoy them too!

Soon we'll be able to start feeding these wonderfully nutritious snacks to our chickens and quail. They're going to love them!
