It's bird watching season and cardinals, blue birds, and many others love feeding on live mealworms. Yellow mealworms, Tenebrio molitor, are believed to have originated in the mountainous regions of Iran and Northern India and migrated into Europe during biblical times. Since then mealworms were introduced into the United States around the time of the Revolutionary War. As early as the 1800's, mealworms were already being raised as a food for pets, especially birds.

Which shipping method should I choose? We offer a wide variety of options for shipping your live insects. Using the chart above as reference, our customers can choose which shipping service will work best for them. It is important to take into account that transit times vary greatly between the different options. USPS First Class Mail can take up to 7 business days and Overnight is a one business day in transit service. What works well for some customers will not always work well for others. If it is during the hot summer months or cold winter months we recommend not using USPS Ground Advantage because it is the slowest option and increases the risk of receiving your insects DOA. Make sure to check the weather, carefully taking into account transit time and places that your package will travel through. Also important to consider is the price between the shipping methods: USPS Ground Advantage is the cheapest, Overnight is the most expensive with many options in between depending on the season. We try to provide as much information as possible but it is ultimately up to the customer to make the best choice based on weather and the quality of delivery services available to your area.

My animal hospital needs a dependable source of mealworms for all the exotic species we treat and for our resident insectivorous bats (non-releasable injuries). We've tried many companies over the years, and Fluker's has furnished by far the most dependable service and highest quality mealworms. I highly recommend them.
I have ordered meal worms and super worms from Flukers for some time. I feel as though I am an expert in birding as I've been doing this for 30+ years. The worms are in great shape upon receiving them. The packing is always perfect. I would never shop somewhere else for my live worms. I HIGHLY recommend Fluker's
Almost all mealworms are Alice every time I purchase, and they always get here very very quickly! Good price for the quality.
As always I got nice plump and healthy worms.
The live worms come regularly every two weeks and are always in great condition. I can refrigerate the box for up to a week, then empty the worms into a large bowl with instant oats, mix well, portion into containers and toss a small piece of carrot on top and set outside the fridge for 24 hours, then back in the fridge. The chickadees, cardinals and other birds enjoy them daily!
The worms arrived alive and in good shape. I used the pickup at post office option.
Ordered 500 "mediums" and most of them were 1/2 inch plus they all arrived dead, not even a potato to keep them alive while they get here.
I was very happy with the quality of the mealworms that I received. They were professionally packed in a ventilated box with egg crate media. It was pretty easy to get them out without making a huge mess. Out of 1000, there were only 8 dead ones. That's amazing, considering that the temps have been in the 90's here in the south. Will definitely buy again from Flukers. I highly recommend them.
All of my mealworms were alive except 1 dead one I found; I think that's pretty good from buying them online. My juvenile leopard gecko loves them!
