Bigger meal worms

My buddy fished with some kinda giant meal worm any idea what they are?

Butter worm? looks like meal but bigger

Sounds like mighty mealys or superworms:

Superworms

$20/1000

Are these the hormone treated ones?

Do they ever turn into beetles?

The hormone treated regular mealworms don't turn into beetles, so they can't reproduce.

Superworms can reproduce, but they're more of a pain because you have to isolate them when they're ready to turn into beetles. Otherwise the other worms will eat them.

If you rise your own you can pick out the biggest plumpest ones or do like I do and use the pupa instead.

Are these something that can be mail ordered? I don't know of any places in my neck of the woods that sale anything but minners.....
