Dermestid Beetle Experinces Of 2011

Since it is winter all the other invert hobbies i am into are dead[i have to hibernate them unlike dermestids].
Of course this is a dermestid blog so we can talk about them all year round. I have recently started an O.F.C but that is for a diffrent topic.


This topic is about what i plan on doing this winter and early 2012. This winter i have planned a few intreasting things including:
Over-Feeding Challenge Year 2 x2
Sock Eating Challenge Year 2 Revisited
Anything anyone else asks me to do.

All of these will be helpful for my dermestid colonies and should help increase my population size. Of course since this is winter and the weather outside is cold that means the weather inside gets warmer so in a way its summer for the Dermestids.
