[Nhcoll-l] beetle colony invader

[Aren Gunderson]

Hi All,
Our dermestid beetle colony has been invaded by the red-legged ham beetle,
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_Necrobia-5Frufipes&d=DwIBaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=LpYc_Z_iN1KRw0hheb3x6-8MJUMu482qfHowpGYJqwc&m=kBnbVAiIBvnm37vX57cDemsRZWRts-Qk4W2FalzXAWk&s=96xz_mW-gBvwLEmRKbKL2GUzT9qBmDqxnINLetD9Vmg&e=. Does anyone have any
experience with these guys commingling with their dermestids? Will they
kill the dermestids or are they feeding on the skeletons?
Thanks,
Aren
