You reckon it's food coloring? I haven't seen colored ones. Just the ones like the one at the left.

i work in an angling store and sometimes we can order red ones. they color them just like maggots to get better action during fishing.

if i let it grow to a beetle will it be a red beetle? if not is it still safe to feed to a turtle
