    I used to buy mealworm for the garden birds, and I can confirm this warning is needed. I used to get told off by one bird if I took too long giving him his worms.

    Here he is:

    Can confirm. I opened this post outside, and was immediately swarmed. The last thing I saw before my eyes were pecked out was someone bearing a strong resemblance to Alfred Hitchcock…

    That shit is like crack to birds. I got them pawning their nests and favorite pebbles just to get another hit. Living the mealworm dealer high life!

    This is true for a very not obvious reason:

    People who ignore the sign are disobedient and therefore suspicious. That’s why they send all available drones to that person to intimidate them.

        I bought this quantity of super worms for my turtles…

        And omg it’s so much. It’s like a 5gallon bucket full of dehydrated crawlies. I wish I could get that quantity of dried river shrimp, but so so so much more expensive.

        Anyway, I have no idea what I’m going to do with them… I doubt my little 3 inch turtle is going to be able to consume them in the max 10 years he has left… (I had two when I bought them, but the big female died a few months later. No idea what happened, but they were halfway to their max lifespan at the time, and she deteriorated too fast to do anything about it, so…) so I guess feeding them to crows might be a good bet. Get me a corvid following. I’ve always wanted a minion army.

          If you have any parking nuisances, throw a handful of mealworm on their car at night. The early bird will get the worm, and the car will be covered in bird shit.

    Does the disclaimer on the box say “Not for human consumption” or “Fit for human consumption”?
