Breeding. To breed your own superworms, start with a colony of about 100 worms. Superworms can take a long time to pupate, but you can hurry the process along. Purchase small containers such as film canisters or small drawers from hardware containers, and punch a small hole in it. Put some substrate in the container, and put the container in a warm, dark place for about 10 days.
Humans are not the only living creatures affected by toxic air pollutants. Some toxins, like mercury, settle onto plants and into water sources that are then consumed by animals. The health effects of these poisons are then magnified up the food chain.
Studies have confirmed that birds, which share the air that we breathe, are afflicted by the same respiratory problems as humans when exposed to air pollution. In addition, field studies have shown that the effects of air pollution can extend to bird habitats as well, changing the landscape in subtle but important ways. Smog over downtown Los Angeles.
