We've been tossing around the idea of combining darkling beetles with other, possibly climbing species of arthropods. The idea is that the darkling mealworms may well help keep the substrate clean of waste and feeder insect parts. Our general idea is mixing them with crickets because of how dirty crickets are.
But the idea struck me of mixing meal worms and mantids. If the mantids eat all the adult beetles, that's not really much of a loss.
Has anyone tried something like this? If not mealworms, then something else?
