Hi, Patrick. Hello, Jimmy. Good to see you. Good to see you, too. Right, where are these insects? Patrick Campbell is the man in charge. Oh, my God, look. So we' ve got a big perch in here which they' ve cleaned. You can see them all scurrying around, the adults are the darker ones with the harder outer shell, and the larvae tend to be brown. Yep. With hairs all over them. They look like little furry bears, don' t they? Dermestes maculatus are flesheating beetles which are proving invaluable in preparing skeletons for the collection. And these are important creatures, not only for you to actually strip these skeletons right down till they' re pearly white, but also in the wild they help break down all the dead bodies of animals that have been killed and run over and put the nutrients back in the soil. You can see how clean they' ve made this perch, it only took about three or four days to get it down to that sort of level. I' ve got my head a bit too close, you need a peg on your nose. There is a bit of a smell, yes. A bit of a smell. You' re joking. You get used to it. These cabinets aren' t just boxes to keep the beetles in. Basically you are replicating in here the perfect environment for those beetles. It' s a fivestar hotel. They' ve got the food. They can get on with breeding, warmth. Moisture. There' s no need to take them for walks or anything. That' s great, isn' t it? Fantastic. So we' ve got our dried specimen here. So what will we do with them next? I was thinking of putting that one in there. He' s going to go in this, Cabinet A? Cabinet A. |
