Figure 1. Comparison of plastic polymer consumption, frass extraction, and plastic removal rates of the larvae of U. dermestoides versus Tenebrio molitor. (A) A cartoon indicating worms ingesting three different types of plastic polymers. (B) Average daily plastic consumption on a larval weight basis (mg/g). Water (Cw), ethanol (Ce), and solvent extraction fractions (Ct) of the frass of U. dermestoides larvae (C) and T. molitor larvae (D). (E) Plastic removal rates by U. dermestoides and T. molitor larvae on the 10th day.
