NEED HELP ON MEAL WORMS AND CAFFEINE ADDICTION/PREFERENCE

[nycity1 at interport.net]

Hi to those who took the time to read this posting.
	I am a researcher and am currently working on ground breaking research having 
to do with drug addiction.  I am at the beginning of my research and am 
seeking advice on the following experiment:
	The problem that I am currently investigating is to determine if meal worms 
(tenebrio molitor) will carry over their preference for caffeine after going 
through the pupae stage and metamorphosing into a beetle.  The basis of my 
experiment revolves around the thesis that meal worms DO NOT already hold a 
natural prediliction for caffeine but will DEVELOP ONE.
	This thesis is to be tested in the first stage of my experiment by exposing 
the meal worms to two groups of food, food absorbed in a caffeine solution and 
the same food by itself.  In this stage, I will check to see which food the 
meal worms prefer to eat from,  If the meal worms show the tendency to avoid 
caffeinated food, the following procedures would be followed.
	The meal worms will be exposed to the caffeinated food for about three weeks. 
 This will be done by dividing approximately forty meal worms into two groups; 
one group will be exposed to food absorbed in caffeine and the other group 
willl act as a control being fed food not absorbed in caffeine.
	During this time that the meal worms go into their pupae stage and 
metamorphose into a beetle, they do not need to be fed.
	The final stage of my experimentation focuses on the main idea of my 
experiment.  It is during this stage that I will test the problem to fetermine 
whether ONLY the meal worms who were exposed to caffeine when they were larvae 
continue to have their preference for caffeinated food when they are now 
beetles.  (This can be thought similar to the idea of a crack addict coming 
out of a three year coma...will he/she die, or live with or without the 
addciciton.)
	At this point, I am looking for other ideas from anyone.  Hints, suggestions, 
input.  I will be glad to keep in touch with you to notify you of my progress. 
 If you would just be able to E-MAIL me instead of posting on here again for I 
do not frequent here too often.   Thank you,
