This listing offers a 50 ct. Dermestid Beetle Colony containing a mixture of larvae, adult beetles, and eggs (eggs are not counted towards the total count). This combination of life stages will allow your colony to grow very quickly. They co-habit very well with other insects and they're ideal for keeping other insect breeding colonies clean due to their ability to consume and break down organic matter. They're also great for taxidermy purposes such as cleaning skulls and bones.
