I now have 20 fully grown beetles, and tomorrow i will be checking on my second batch of super worms to see if they have all pupated sucessfully. This will give me another 20 or so beetles...
Hopefully some mating will be goin on... and some eggs will be being laid...
more soon...............

July 4th Update
I currently have 4 Fully Grown Beetles and 16 Pupae getting ready to emerge soon, and have added another 16 worms which should have pupated by the 10th of July.. I have come across a method which has proved far more successful in getting the worms to pupate, my first ten i did i only got a 4 to pupate and emerge successfully.
Using my new method i got all 16 worms to pupate within 12 days of separation, ive just put in another batch and will see how this goes too, before i mention how i did this.
Tune in again soon for another update.
ps. ive started to breed mealworms too, which seams a lot easier and quicker...
