The Mealworm Beetle, scientifically known as *Tenebrio molitor*, is the adult form of the mealworm, a common insect found in various environments. These beetles are typically brown or black and can grow up to 1.5 centimeters in length. They are often found in stored grains and other food products, where they thrive in warm, dry conditions. Mealworm beetles are known for their role in the food chain and are also used in animal feed and as a sustainable protein source for humans. Their larvae, known as mealworms, are rich in protein and are increasingly being explored for their potential in entomophagy, the practice of eating insects.
