The favorite food of bluebirds! Other visitors to feeders such as chickadees, bluebirds, wrens and woodpeckers will all also eat mealworms. Since mealworms can crawl, they should be offered at feeding stations in a bird feeder designed so that they can not crawl out. Mealworms may be purchased and kept for weeks at 40 - 50 degrees F, but if you wish to store them longer, place them in a container with bran flakes, wheat bran or corn meal. Be sure to put air holes in the top of your meal orm container! Also provide an apple or potato slice so that the mealworms may use it for a moisture source. Larvae can be held in a state of dormancy by refrigerating them at 40 to 50 degrees F but be aware that lower temperatures can kill the meal worm larvae.
