417
What are superworms?
Superworms are the larval form of Zophobas morio, a type of darkling beetle. They're like mealworms, but bigger and fatter. This makes them good for use as occasional feeders or treats for reptiles, amphibians, and some arachnids.
We offer a pre-cupped option is great for hobbyists that want a convenient alternative to "boxed" or "bagged" feeders, and pet stores or resellers wanting a professional pre-packaged solution.
How big is each superworm?
Our large superworms are approximately 1 1/2" to 2" long each.
How often can superworms be offered?
Superworms can be safely used as part of a rotation of feeder insects or as treats. Due to their higher fat content, avoid using superworms as a staple feeder.

Stuart, FloridaI’ve ordered from Dubia before and most the time I get my orders with no issues. I’ve been pleased in the past so I’m giving 4 starts instead or 2 or 3 but when I got this last order, about only 40 out of 200 super worms were alive. The hornworms I got started to die and smell after 2 days of getting them. Like I said I’ve had much better experiences with Dubia so I’ll see how this next order goes but overall wasn’t very pleased with this last one.
United States Millbrae, CaliforniaI made a order last Sunday like I always do and it gets to me by Thursday but the last text said it won’t be here until this Monday?
