Euh, anyone know how to collect them from the wild(or garden)??

Their usually under logs and leaves and such, but good luck find any. It's not easy.

You can go to your LFS and buy some there, or if you want alot, you can buy them online. That's what I did. :)
 
Have some new pics. When they get closer to turning into little beatles their legs will get a reddish color. Here's two pics of this.The one to the right isn't close. Within 5 days tops, I should have my first beatle!!!!!!!!!!!!:headbang2:headbang2

too much protien and your fish will look like arnald swartinagers on steroids

I don't feed that much, I'm just breeding them really. I'm going for the women body builder look though. Not too crazy, but not a weakling, lol.:D:D

Believe me or not. The only live food the LFS ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY sell is frozen bloodworm. For artemia, I know only two LFS that has it. Most LFS here are managed by people who think that fishkeeping is putting a fish i water and feeding it. There are a couple of good ones though.

Try online. Alot of people sell them online. That's where I bought my initial 500. That should work. :)
 
There is a complicated way of setting up outside that will get you literal thousands of wild mealworms...
