Hi all,

I'm looking for a shop that sells Live Mealworms (preferably in the Algarve)? I've tried a few petshops that supplies reptile food but they all seem to just to do dried.

I'm no fisherman so not sure if Mealworms are used as fishing bait as a different angle?

Any help appreciated.

Can't help directly with sourcing - but in Portugal the insects are normally called Tenébrios, or Tenébrios-da-Farinha or just Bichos-da-Farinha - "Verme" sounds very Brazilian to me.......

Of course, the mealworm is the larva, so these are sometimes called Larvas-da-Farinha.

Those names may help in a Google search! There appear to be adverts on OLX offering them......https://www.olx.pt/anuncio/vendo-ten...tml#874940a034

Aha, that's where I was going wrong.

Thanks for the correction, I should of realised the Brazilian error.

Any fishing tackle / bait shop has these and others + will give you advice on which to use in which area for which fish.
