      Mealworms and other maggots and such are generally solitary. They don’t really communicate with one another like how eusocial insects do. You can just imagine them as a bunch of hungry babies that just want to eat stuff. Once they develop into beetles, they’ll disperse out and will probably never meet each other again unless mating
