Meet the beetles: Mealworms could be a food of the future

I have a special fondness for the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor.As a child, I fed the mealworm stage of this beetle to my pet chameleon.As a teen, I babysat for a family that owned a pet shop. The house was filled with animals, and I was thrilled to be there. That is, until right before bedtime.
