Flesh–eating beetlecam

Eating flesh doesn't sound like an enjoyable job. But the Museum has a team of workers behind the scenes who munch on animal carcasses all day and never complain. That's because they're flesh-eating beetles.

The beetles are currently eating a small fish called the moorish idol, Zanclus cornutus.

The beetles will tuck into about 4kg of flesh a week.
