It can not only eat polysterene, but more importantly break it down.
Many animals eat plastic, including humans, and that's not helpful without the ability to break it down.
Curious what does the plastic turn into when broken down, and how easy is it to separate the types of plastic the bugs can or can't eat.
We’ve known about mealworms eating polystyrene for several years now. Is there any new information worth looking at here?
Combination of enzymes in stomach of natural and poly is best.
