Things You'll Need
- Plastic container with lid
- Scissors
- Window screen
- Glue
- Black-eyed peas or mung beans
- Starter culture
Instructions
Cut a hole in the lid of a plastic container using scissors.
Cut a piece of window screen slightly larger than the hole.
Glue the screen to the inside of the lid, covering the hole.
Add a handful of black-eyed peas to the bottom of the container.
Add infested peas and beetles from your starter culture to the container. Put the lid on the container.
Keep the culture above 77 degrees Fahrenheit for the fastest production. The beetles will lay eggs on the beans, then die after 10 to 14 days.
