Approximately 40gs per pack.

Around 40-60mm in size.

Morio worms, also known as superworms or Zophobas morio, are a popular choice for live food among reptile and amphibian enthusiasts, as well as some birds and fish. These insects are native to Central and South America and are a type of darkling beetle larvae.

Morio worms are appreciated for their relatively large size, which makes them suitable for feeding to larger reptiles such as bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and monitors. They are also high in protein and fat, providing essential nutrients for the animals that consume them.

One of the advantages of morio worms over other feeder insects is their durability. They have a tough exoskeleton, allowing them to survive for longer periods without the need for specialized care. This makes them convenient for pet owners who may not have the time or resources to constantly tend to their feeder insect colony.

In terms of care, morio worms are relatively low maintenance. They can be kept in a plastic container with ventilation holes and provided with a substrate such as oats or wheat bran for bedding. Additionally, they require a moisture source, such as pieces of fruit or vegetables, to prevent dehydration. It's important to remove any uneaten food promptly to maintain cleanliness and prevent mould growth.
