Why Beetles?

Dermestid beetles are a naturally occurring species of scavenger beetle found across North America, which continue to be the preferred method of skull preparation in museum and university collections around the world. Colonies are capable of cleaning skulls through the process of skeletonization. This species feeds only on animal flesh, giving the process many advantages over other preparation methods. Dermestid beetles remove every ounce of flesh and organic material from the deepest recesses of the skull, without leaving a single mark. This is especially important in maintaining the integrity of the nasal cavity. Boiled skulls are typically left with weak suture lines, loosened teeth, discoloration, and antler shrinkage. Additionally, the use of Dermestid beetles leaves the skull without any unpleasant smell.
We utilize Dermestid Beetles and high-grade hydrogen peroxide to produce the highest quality European Mounts in the Mid-West. The beetles are the most effective way to clean the skulls, removing everything inside and out, without damaging even the thinnest, most fragile bones. Our use of hydrogen peroxide for whitening, as opposed to the typical bleach utilized, whitens the skull without damaging the integrity of the bone.
With year-round availability and fast turnaround, all at an affordable price, our Dermestid Beetle Colony is your best choice for preserving your memory of the hunt.
