Larvae of superworms (Zophobas atratus Fab.) and yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor
Linn.) can survive on sole plastic diets. However, no side-by-side comparison of plastics
degradation by both species is available yet. Here, superworms and yellow mealworms
were fed with polystyrene (PS) or polyurethane (PU) foam plastics as sole diets for 35 days
with bran as control. Superworms survived 100% on all diets but decreased weights were
observed after 20 days with sole plastic diets. In contrast, yellow mealworms survived …

Plastics biodegradation by insect larvae is regarded as an emerging strategy for the
disposal of resistant plastic wastes. Larvae of superworms (Zophobas atratus Fab.) and
mealworms (Tenebrio molitor Fab.) can survive on sole plastic diets. However, no side-by-
side comparison of plastics degradation by both species is available yet. Here, superworms
and mealworms were fed with polystyrene (PS) or polyurethane (PU) foam plastics as sole
diets for 35 days with bran as control. Superworms survived 100% on all diets but decreased …
