Good pics.  I am always sparing with meal worms ( if I buy them)  they are so expensive.  That is a feast for the starlings.

Put some in a big tin with holes in the lid and a supply of bran. It takes time, but they hatch into beetles and breed.

Wilkos sell dried meal worms at £2.49 - less than half the price for the same size as other places. It's still expensive so I only put them out occasionally as a treat.
