Lyle-
Actually, this year's shortage is extraordinary-I've heard there has never
been a shortfall of this magnitude. Even big breeders who have huge standing
orders are unable to feed their animals. It seems some new employees at one
of the largest mealworm suppliers accidently sold off a TON of breeding stock
mealworms, and this combined with an unprecedented demand from people feeding
bluebirds combined into a kind of "perfect storm", causing the crash.
Mealworms aren't likely to be back in ready supply before September, from what
I've
heard.
