Wax Worm Maintenance

From 3-24-15.

All of the wax worms in the current generation are either pupating or have already become wax moths. Eggs were recovered and added to a new container filled with wax worm diet that was previously made. There were a lot of eggs that were recovered and the majority were placed inside a 50 mL conical tube and stored at 4C.

There are many more wax worms that will soon emerge as wax moths that will produce many more eggs, so I will keep the eggs at a cold temperature for storage.
