Mealworms are the larvae of the darkling beetle. Much like a butterfly transforming from a caterpillar into a chrysalis and then turning into the butterfly itself, a darkling beetle egg grows into a mealworm, which then turns into a pupae before the darkling beetle emerges. Dried mealworms are simply these mealworms dried out by either freeze-drying or heating. So surprisingly, mealworms are not actually worms at all!
