Are pachnodas cannibalistic? (TW dead bug in pictures)
So i have a tiny colony of pachnodas and one out of the six (adults) i have wasn't doing so well, didn't pupae well, its adult form was in between larva and beetle stage, wasn't going to live. Knew that. Though i got quite surprised when i opened my terrarium and found three of them eating the body, i didn't know they were cannibalistic, although it seems more like a detritivore behaviour to me ?
In all case, RIP to the small guy.
