The Waxworm & the P. larvae

From 8-4-14.

I observed that a single waxworm has hatched from its egg in the 5 uL BAD treatment group. It is only about 2 -3 mm in length, but is visible with the naked eye. It doesn't appear that it has removed any of the present 5 uL BAD, but is very active on the side of the well moving around. I put an additional 10 uL of fresh BAD next to it and will continue to monitor its growth.

None of the other eggs have hatched yet. I will also need to create food for the other waxmoth eggs in order to continue to maintain a healthy colony.
