Last night, I was sitting on my sofa, watching an episode of House, when I heard a weird noise – kind of like a moth hitting a window. I heard it a few times, and after a while I realised it was coming from the spot where I keep my insects. When I went to have a look, one of the meal worm beetles kept trying to fly against the side of the container!
I already knew that most beetles are capable of flight, but I thought it was ok to keep the lid off because a couple of websites had said you could do that. Apparently not! At least this explains how one of them escaped…
