Where do superworms get their water from if they can survive solely off Styrofoam?

I saw an article a few days ago stating that superworms can survive soley off styrofoam. I’ve noticed moths are also able to complete their life style from simply eating left over carbohydrates like left over chips. Where are these insects getting their water from?

From the [study](https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/docserver/fulltext/mgen/8/6/mgen000842.pdf?expires=1669148783&id=id&accname=guest&checksum=7B6774C4BAF08041E2283A8B5791E171) to which the superworm article referred:

>Moisture was controlled with a custom water sprayer to create a fine mist layer on the underside of the superworm container lid.
