Title: Dermisted beetles Post by: jakes on September 07, 2012, 04:45:18 am I am looking for tips and opinions from those who have used and or has a working colony. I want my own colony but I want to do it right without the big learning curb. There was a thread online a few years ago but I can't remember what site to reference. Most of the info I have gotten is from the mid west and northern states. I want to know what works down here in the south. Temp? Humidity? Moisture? Different ideas and setups....So on and so forth. Thanks

Title: Re: Dermisted beetles Post by: firemedic on September 07, 2012, 09:16:23 am Charles, they are flesh eating beetles that are used to clean skulls and skeletons etc. You can keep a colony of them in captivity and use them to clean your skulls of all flesh. They're really good at removing any and all flesh from bones. They're used by the taxidermy industry a great deal,....never had any so I'm not much help about how to keep a colony but I'm sure the internet is full of info on how to do it.

Title: Re: Dermisted beetles Post by: charles on September 07, 2012, 12:01:40 pm They dont eat chit charles so them people in washington would be safe Sounds like a flood for the floaters and dung beetles for the rest. Title: Re: Dermisted beetles Post by: firemedic on September 07, 2012, 05:12:32 pm Hahaha.....yep, we need some dung beetles for the politicians for sure....or as my Grand dad called them....'tumble turds'. I reckon most all the old times called a dung beetle that. I remember going to the place with him where he voted once, now I was just a little guy at thit time. He ran into one of his friends as we got out of the car,....the guy said to my Grand dad...."Hey Will,.....you seen any politicians today?" my grand dad replied...."Yep,....I kicked a cow pile this morning and 3 of 'em ran out from under it!" I'll never forget that.....I still laugh about it to this day.
