Currently I'm trying to raise mealworm beetles (Tenebrio molitor). I got them from our local petstore for 70% off, which was still horribly overpriced as they were just going to throw them out anyway. From what I hear T. molitor is an egg-laying machine, from what I've seen T. molitor is a mating/cannibalize-your-next-of-kin machine. Its quite strange.
I think it might have been their "habitat". I was keeping them in a 5 gallon container with some sand, rocks and a piece of wood (I never knew a beetle could wedge itself into a hole or crack so well). I took them out of that and put them into a smaller container with milled flax seeds so they could burrow around and hopefully lay some eggs.
We'll see.
EDIT:
Since Mr. Orstan (sorry I couldn't figure out how to get the diaeresis above the "O") asked here are some photos.
