Sunday my family took a trip to the Northern California Ren Faire. We've been going for quite a few years now and we take my husbands parents as they enjoy the unparalleled people watching available. I spoiled myself and the girls a bit and brought home a few trinkets and a mealworm. Yes, a mealworm. After a visit to pet a dragon, or rather lizards, snakes and turtles, my daughter the budding entomologist was gifted a mealworm which she insisted we keep and raise until it becomes a beetle. It is currently living in a water bottle until more suitable accommodations can be acquired.
After the long day, we retired early and I managed to miss yet another front page feature. I woke this morning to more convos and requests and Daniel of Catherinetterings sent me a screen shot of the feature which was the lovely treasury by Insectus.This one featured was curated and featured some of my SteamTeam friends as well as A topsyturvydesigns hat whose picture also includes one of my chokers. So it's like being on there twice, kinda.
It's been a banner week for me and I actually feel a little guilty that I've been granted such a streak of luck. I still see so many threads on the forums of people doing so poorly in the sagging economy. While I have no delusions that I will continue my current sales trend once Halloween has past, I still feel like I've reached a good point of saturation that will hopefully continue.
Tomorrow, I have a new mask to show you and I promise to stop bragging.
Important mealworm rearing info ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt needs food, most are sold in bran or oat meal for food. It shouldn't be allowed to get to hot or too cold.
And it may take longer to pupate then normal, because some commercial growers include a hormone in feeding that keeps it in larva stage longer to get it to grow larger then normal.
At least, that last says wikipedia. The rest says the gecko in my roommates room (well not literally heh)
Yayyy front page!
