Here are the different stages of mealworms (mini worms to pupae to beetle/mealworm). These are what Miss Lizzie found in the mealworm container.

When we came back to school Miss Lizzie had an interesting discovery to share with the class. She had been finding black beetles in the mealworm tub! So she decided to do a bit of research and found out that mealworms have a whole life cycle! So on Wednesday, the 7th of October, Miss Lizzie got all of us to do a bit of research and found out there are 8 stages in the life cycle.

When Matilda went to the place of Jack's birth, she met his brother and sister, (he had 12 in total) and she was told that he actually ate the runt of the lounge (that's what you call a group of lizards) he ate his little sister!!! That's the reason that we got him, he is the biggest and strongest!

Alex and Keeley weighed Jack and he weighs one hundred and twenty grams, WOW!! He's put on a lot of weight.

Today Keeley and Nyah measured Jack and found out that he has done a lot of growing recently, he is 28 centimeters long now!!
