Giant Red Mosquito Larvae

[blueberlin]

I just discovered a new food - giant red mosquito larvae! I've never seen or heard of them before. They look really yummy (I can't believe I look at a bug and think that now) and I can't wait to see if my axolotl larvae will like them.

Has anyone heard of these before?

are they like bloodworms

is it the larvae of the 'giant red mosquito' or are the larvae giant and red?

Ali: There are many species of "bloodworm". Some are pretty thick.

Sorry for the confusion.

They are giant bloodworms, I guess. I actually don't know if the mosquitos of red or white larvae are also red or white mosquitos. The larvae never sit in the aquarium long enough to become adult. :frog:

My axolotl larvae did not like the normal red mosquito larvae (bloodworms) so I'm curious to see whether they like these. They are really big, maybe too big for some of the axolotls. We'll see!

I often get giant bloodworm for my two, they love them! but I have to feed them with tongs otherwise they get completely lost in the red sand!
