Iszac Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Found this while digging out a footing at work yesterday in Queenstown. Looks exactly like a super worm, same size and all. seems quite aggressive though? Surely it cant be a superworm? Anything else it could be?

Ira Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Probably be easier to just pick up a batch of mealworms if that's what you're looking for. Not nearly as big, but they're easier to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
