Sorry for my ignorance but curiousity is getting the better of me here. Getting beetles "to do a skull" what does that mean?

Are these beetles used to clean the skull and leave the bone clean of meat?

Don't think u need to "order" any beetles....throw the skull in a 5 gallon pail with a few. Small holes in the bottom and top, put er in the sun come spring time....come fall, there's ur nice clean skull.

Tried it with a wolf skull once, worked great, beetles seem to find anything that has a good odour....

Default Beetles

Dermestid beetles are the BEST way to clean bones of any type, that's why museum quality specimens are cleaned with beetles. If you're just looking for skulls to keep your colony going you could get some scrap bones from the butcher. Maybe you could do a two for one deal with someone, something like they bring in two skulls for cleaning and you get to keep one for your troubles and the customer gets one back.

On a side note I probably wouldn't hunt with a feller called "shoot anything that moves."
