	WAXWORM MOTHS
		Waxworms are white to tan, plump, clearly segmented, and moderately active.
		If the waxworms are in a neutral medium like sawdust, remove them from the sawdust and put them in the large jar with one cup of homemade medium.
		The humane way to end the cycle of waxworms is to put the culture in a freezer overnight and then dispose of the medium.

		Apparently, the God-given right of any fisherman to blithely feed a waxworm to a steelhead bass is denied the Hollywood filmmaker and his baby crow, even when the Clock of Doom is ticking off $120,000 a day in production costs.

		In addition I found they prefer to be kept isolated during such a period and this allows the hobbyist to determine the health of each specimen.
		Allow them to grow on for a period until they are 15mm at which point they should be moved to a large aquaria with about 4 inches of gently aerated water and plenty of oxygenating plants such as Elodea.
		Most emerge with remnants of their gills and can be moved to plastic containers of damp Java or sphagnum moss where they will feed greedily on waxworm.
