Survival of Superworms on Different Diets

My project looked at the mortality rate of superworms on different diets consisting of oatmeal, cornmeal, and wheat bran and comparing it to a diet of chicken manure. If chicken manure is a viable food source for superworms this has great reaching applications, such as a use for the buildup of waste from poultry farms and a sustainable way to farm protein-rich insects.
