Adult, larvae, and pupae stages of development.
O ur Flesh Eating Beetles, also known as Dermestid Beetles, are kept in one gallon glass jars. They are given pine shavings and dried dogfood when they are not eating meat to the bone. The glass jar is covered with plastic wrap, which has holes poked in it and the edges are taped secure so there are no escapees.
