I now have 5 adult mealworm beetles, though one of them seems to have been picked out as inferior and seems to have been attacked a few times. I think this should give me a reasonable chance of establishing a breeding pair now, at least.
I've moved them from the jar where I was keeping them into an empty ice cream tub with some food. It should make it easy to see what all the beetles are doing, who's died, and which are engaged in courtship.
Insects are interesting creatures...
