Tenebrio molitor
TaxID: 7067
Basic Information
Tenebrio molitor
Hardback Beetle, Yellow Mealworm, yellow mealworm
Mealworms are the larval form of the yellow mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, a species of darkling beetle. The yellow mealworm beetle prefers a warmer climate and higher humidity. Male mealworm beetles release a sex pheromone to attract females to mate. Tenebrio molitor has been used in biomedical research. Mealworms can be a dietary source for animals and humans. They are also considered pests, especially to food storage.
