Mealworm Pupa Emerges as Beetle Timelapse

A dramatic timelapse movie of a mealworm pupa emerging as a darkling beetle. Taken with the ProScope HR using the 1-10x lens and mounted on a stand. This movie is elapsed over a 25 minute period. The new beetles emerge almost white, but turn black within about 25 hours.
