Acting as decomposers in the naturalenvironment, they feed on decaying plant materials and dead insects. Inaddition, as a result of its easy handling and non-fastidious cultureconditions, T. molitor is used as a pet food, an educational material, and as abiological research model. I am interesting in this insect as a bologicalresearch material firstly. One day I saw this insect eat styrofoam. I prepareda special aria for experiment and I put it a box and it include only strafoam.I checekt it after 10 days and i saw it which eat strafoam. We can use thisinsect as a strafoam degredation. Because the insect gut is a distinctivehabitat for microbial colonization. Bacterial communities are thought toperform many roles that are beneficial to their food.         Anahtar Kelimeler: enviromentalfriendly, alternatif, Tenebrio molitor   CR - Engin Kılıç Erzincan Üniversitesi Eczacılık Fakültesi, Temel Eczacılık Bilimleri Bölümü UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/turjoem/issue//319671 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/311728 ER -
