As seen on Bones.

You pick up and haul. Colony is in Tri-Cities. The colony is currently in an old chest freezer (without a lid (no freon to worry about, either) so you'll have to figure a way to keep the colony contained during transit. I keep the bugs in the freezer with an old screen door but that'd be problematic on the road, I'd guess.

Dermestids clean the flesh off carcasses and leave the skeleton behind. Useful for making European mounts.

Its only a few months 'til hunting season. Stick a nice deer or elk head in the colony and the bugs'll clean it to a skull in a few weeks.

Ready then for a mounting kit and putting up on the wall.

It'll take you months to get a fine colony like this going. Kick yourself for missing the opportunity.

Yep, they are creepy but they do the job, given time. Mother Nature's way but under controlled conditions.
