10 000 MEALWORMS VS FISH (and some other stuff)
Ойын-сауық
Mealworms eating romanesco, dragon fruit, fish, cat grass, and tomato. I included a ton of macro footage of these time lapses so you can have a good look at the mealworms and from up close. :)
Oh, and I almost forgot, I also bought some superworms, so we can find out if they are any faster than the mealworms.
Please leave a comment, because I read each and every one of them!

when it comes to apples it starts to brown dew to oxygen being present in cells, polyphenol oxidase enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown colored secondary products.

Mealworms and super worms can be invasive so definitely don’t release them. Actually releasing any kind of pet / feeder in to the wild is bad bc 1. The outside environment usually isn’t suitable for them so they die 2. Worse the environment is super suitable for them and they become invasive and outcompete native species 3. They can spread disease to native species
Its kind of amazing to see the natural decay of foods when thousands of little things are eating it.

These mealworms and superworms are eating healthier than me and I love it
“I stir them gently so they all get a bite” How kind of you!
What I like about watching photo owl videos is knowing that there are loads of other time lapse videos being recorded at the same time.
Okay it's actually kind of cute the way they grab and pull on the food as hard as they can with their wriggly little Caterpie stubs. It's like watching a baby trying to crawl or something. Little guys are trying their best.
I am so glad I found this channel. You are one of my favorite timelapse maker! Keep it up!
I know when I've thrown stuff in with my morio worm feeders, it is practically gone in record time. Is amazing to see, plus knowing they've eaten well, so my reptiles & arachnids will be getting the extra nutrition from them, makes it an even better experience.
Well these mealworms has a good lunch. Also I love how to stirred them so they can all have a taste. How generous.
It's good to see you keep your mealworms well fed and healthy
These videos really make me itch... I can't stop watching them though.

Great video! How many meal worms would you need to eat a fish that’s about 6’2 180lbs?
The starts of the fish one gave me an idea! Fish or other things in clear jell-o!
Now I know why they’re called MEAL WORMS
Life is incredible, God is magnificent.
Maybe my sense of humor is entirely broken but I laughed when they carried the fish's face away at 5:15
This is so visceral! This makes me imagine some sci-fi or fantasy setting where there's a pit of hyperaggressive worms below some perilous bridge or something. One party member says something like "oh, at least theres something soft to catch us if we fall!" And a more experienced party member goes "i wouldnt be so sure" and tossed a ration into the pit to show it being devoured instantly, like this in extreme fast forward
This is mind blowing!!!
3:08 yeah I was very worried about their health... thanks.
every video better than the last ❤
I have a phobia of worms and fish idk why I’m watching this
😮 great video
The Mafia, who is trying to get rid of a corpse: Interesting.
Those worms ate better than me in college.
Mealies seem to absolutely love fish/seafood. When I had them I always fed them veggies, I used to have snails too and bought fish flakes as a protein source for them, since they all sadly died I use it for the feeder insects. The mealworms were all over it instantly and it’s always the first thing gone!
I love how when they are in few they dont have any idea what to do, but once they are in many its like they gain sentience
Interesting content! You are able to wash your containers? Or you must throw it away?
Good job!
“I stir them gently so they all get a bite” Bro thats so fucking cute 🥺
The fish being eaten hit me right in the trypophobia.
