Hi BV! I rooted around in the snake bag and found only discarded larval skins and empty pupae...
Oh and only one lost and confused adult beetle... I have provided it with a tasty morsel (dead sparrow) and am hoping that other adults haven't gone too far and will come back!
Ive also set up a 'trap' of sorts on my garden, I know we have dermestids in the area, as every dead bird or meat scraps I toss on the compost heap gets nibbled on by them... So I have put out some old meat in hope of attracting them...
will keep you posted...
@predator678: I did tackle the owl during a holiday so I had 7 solid days to dedicate to it and it alone
I boiled the meat off the bones, and then cleaned them with a toothbrush, so that only took half a day, then I bleached and dried them and that was another day, then 5 days watching series on telly and building the bird on the floor...
