COMMENTS

Note: giant mealworms are also commonly referred to as:

• King Worms
  
  
• Superworms
  
  
• Morio Worms, and

The term 'Superworm' is often used interchangeably and may refer to common mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) grown larger than their natural size due to the use of chemical hormone inhibitors.
