In Reply to: Flesh Eating Beetles!?!?!? posted by Tom Anderson on August 01, 2002 at 14:04:44:

:I am curious about a captive bred beetle that is used by many zoos to clean animal skeletons. I am told that this beetle will eat dried flesh as to produce a perfectly clean skeleton. Please let me know what this beetle is and who sells them.

:Thanks,
:Tom

Dermestid beetles really are used for such a purpose. Although real dermestids eat only dead flesh, the mutant hybrid creature is a homicidal, brain-sucking monster.
