My #dermestid colony stripped a pack of chicken legs in just 24 hours! They even stripped the marrow of the bone. Think they are ready for the upcoming scavenging tasks I'll be assigning them in my #taphonomy research 👍

My #Dermestid #beetle colony has had a huge population explosion! Lots of new crawlies to strip carcasses for my @thepalass.bsky.social #taphonomy grant! #palaeontology

My #dermestid beetles have arrived! These little flesh eaters will strip carcasses for my
@thepalass.bsky.social grant research. Thank you to Sarah at Dermestaria for this beautiful colony, I've wanted my one of my own since I was a teenager 😊🐜 #taphonomy #palaeontology

My first ever #dermestid colony is on its way! Very excited about this step of my
@thepalass.bsky.social
grant. Thank you to Sarah at dermestaria.com for all your help 😊 #palaeontology #taphonomy

Is there anywhere in #Ottawa to get a #dermestid beetle service to clean a turtle skeleton? I don’t want to DIY it.
