Does anyone have any good info on the giant mealworm? I know they are bad because chemicals are used to make regular size mealworms into giants. But i got some superworms. They are ok right? Also, The superworms have black on them and black heads. the giant mealworms do not. correct?

Can someone shine some light on this for me?

Thanks

Make sure you crush the heads slightly on mealworms and especially superworms. Those jaws can do some serious damage to a molting or freshly molted tarantula.

Yeah i didnt even realize that there were even giant mealworms until i started reading up on superworms. people use their names interchangeably which is what messed me up.
