Oval shaped (some look spiky but that's just sand pieces sticking to them), about .03cm long. Found them after sifting through my BDFB tank, all of these eggs and about 30 larva. Thanks in advance!
edit: just finished counting, i have 39 larvae and 84 eggs!!!!!
hello! i've had these spider plant props in water for awhile now (only plants i've been able to successfully propagate!!). do they look ready to be transferred to soil? i think they all do, except maybe the middle one (smallest plant, and has the smallest roots).
if so, what size pots should they all go in? i don't mind repotting frequently, so my instinct is to go small to avoid root rot. is 2.5" a good size for nursery pots for them? or should i go 3.5"? thanks!

hi all, can anyone confirm that this is definitely a mealworm for me? i found him in my tank for my Blue Death Feigning Beetles, and their larval/worm stage look quite similar.
here's why i'm confused: i've had my BDFBs for 5 days only. i don't think that's long enough for an egg to become this long of a worm.
HOWEVER, i've only given my BDFB mealworms once. for this, i took 3 mealworms, put them in a sealed ziploc bag without substrate, and put it in the freezer for 48 hours. then i put them on my BDFB food dish.
so EITHER: one mealworm survived being in a freezer, in an air-tight ziploc bag, for two entire days, OR my BDFBs produced an inch-long larva in 5 days
unfortunately, i do not remember how many mealworms were left in their food dish when i cleaned it out yesterday
