Grey Flycatcher & Mealworms

[birderbert]

We were told on site yesterday that someone had tossed mealworms onto the horse manure earlier in the day. This accounts for the mealworm shots but what about the orange beetles? They look as though they also may be mealworm BEETLES rather than LARVAE?  Does anyone know?

Bert, looks like that's a mealworm beetle yes. Freshly hatched beetles are paler coloured but turn black pretty quickly afterwards.
