Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor), a species commonly used as animal feed, can consume polyethylene and polystyrene. [5] [9] [10] Its congener T. obscurus can also consume polystyrene, [19] as can superworm (Zophobas morio) and red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) from different genera in the same family.
