The larvae and adults of Tenebrio molitor prefer to eat dry feed, and the water content of the feed should be controlled at about 10%~15%. If the water content of the feed is too high, it is easy to get moldy and deteriorated when mixed with insect dung. Tenebrio molitor will get sick after eating moldy and deteriorated food, reducing the survival rate of larvae. It is not easy to complete the emergence process normally in the pupal stage, and the survival rate of emergence is low. If the water content of the feed is too high, the feed itself will become moldy and deteriorated. Therefore, the water content of the yellow mealworm feed should be strictly controlled, that is to say, hold it in a ball, loosen it, and then break it into pieces
