We export to over 40 countries with full compliance documentation, including phytosanitary certificates and customs-ready packaging solutions tailored to each destination market.

What Are 2-3cm Dried Mealworms?

Dried mealworms are the dehydrated larvae of Tenebrio molitor, a coleopteran insect belonging to the family Tenebrionidae. The 2-3cm size grade refers to larvae harvested at peak late-instar development, typically the 10th to 12th larval instar stage, before pupation. At this stage, the larval body reaches an average length of 20-30mm with a body diameter of 3-4mm, presenting a firm, golden-yellow appearance and a naturally high lipid and protein composition that makes them ideal as a complete dietary supplement for a wide range of animal species.

2-3cm Dried Mealworms Breeding and Rearing Process

Our dried mealworms are produced in purpose-built, climate-controlled insect rearing facilities maintained at 26-28°C and 60-70% relative humidity to optimize larval growth rates and feed conversion efficiency. Larvae are fed on certified, pesticide-free wheat bran and vegetable by-products throughout their development cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks. Upon reaching the target 2-3cm body length, larvae are harvested, blanched at 90°C to cease biological activity, and then hot-air dried at 60-70°C until moisture content falls below 10%, ensuring a shelf-stable product with no artificial preservatives.

Initial shipment delay — resolved with compensation and improved lead time

Our first 150kg order of 2-3cm dried mealworms in 1kg retail bags was delayed by 9 days beyond the quoted 12-day lead time due to a logistics handover issue at origin. This caused a brief stockout across three of our stores. The supplier acknowledged the issue, provided a 5% credit on the order value, and assigned a dedicated logistics coordinator for our account. The follow-up 200kg order was delivered in 11 days and product quality — protein at 53.1% DM, moisture at 9.2% — was fully on spec. Issue was handled professionally and we are continuing the relationship.

Competitive pricing for large volume — slight grading variance on first order

We placed a 600kg first order across two SKUs including the 2-3cm grade for wild bird feed retail packs. Pricing was very competitive at this volume, and the protein spec was met. On the first shipment, roughly 4-5% of larvae were slightly under 20mm — not a dealbreaker but outside the stated grade tolerance. We flagged this and the supplier offered a partial credit and confirmed a recalibrated sieve setting for subsequent orders. The second 600kg order showed noticeably better size uniformity. Supplier communication throughout was prompt and professional.

Good value at scale — minor labeling adjustment needed

We import 10kg retail bags for the Australian exotic pet market. Nutritional quality is solid — protein at 52.1% DM and moisture well under 10%. Pricing on a 250kg order was noticeably better than our previous UK-based supplier. The one area for improvement was that the initial OEM label artwork didn't include the Australian APVMA-required net weight placement. The supplier revised and reprinted the artwork within 48 hours at no extra charge, which was appreciated. Overall good value and responsive account management.
