it meets the mesh lid. All tanks are placed in secondary containment - 6 inch walled plastic tote bins that have curved vs. squared-off basins making it fairly slippery and difficult for the beetles to climb out. There is also double-sided sticky tape placed
around the door, which has a 8 inch high threshold/step (a door sweep is also a good idea if your room isn’t designed this way). Processed skeletal material are frozen for a minimum of two weeks before being moved into the collections space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

intensely monitors the space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
