Dermestid Beetle Info - The Good & The Bad


Dermesid beetle information is found all over the internet but most of it is regurgitated information that is incomplete or in some cases doesn't even apply to the species that is commonly used for processing skulls.

If you took a look at the first page of a Google search you will find several informational sites with some information that is good but usually doesn't provide a new dermestid user enough knowledge to ensure success in raising a colony of beetles.

The vast majority of the non-educational sites are businesses that are selling beetles as a business which I may start doing too. A lot of the information provided by businesses is very general or incomplete and taken from other sites that are lacking in some of newer information that has not filtered into the industry.

The problem with good sales copy is issues tend to be down played. It is understandable why this happens but if one is new to raising these insects it can set the new owner up for failure. I trusted the person who sold me my bugs but I also have a science background and there was just not enough information to satisfy my curiosity.

You would expect any care sheet to cover enough possibilities and provide enough information to at least understand variables. However, that would  require a book length sheet....oh yea, that's exactly why I wrote the book. I couldn't find enough sound information on dermesteds so I went digging for more and better information. That is when my colony of beetles started exploding, I used this information in my hobby.

So now I'm selling something and that is information - giving people answers and hopefully
a better understanding on life-cycles and how to manipulate the insects environment for your benefit.   DERMESTID BEETLES: Successfully  Raising Dermestes maculatus And Avoiding Common Problems is available and sold on Amazon.com the url to my author's page is   http://www.amazon.com/J…/e/B016SNEG84/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1…

Happy bugging
