The beetle died immediately

We’ve gotten a lot of questions publicly and privately about our beetle capture, but for the record, the bug(missing a leg at the time of capture) was at all times in total captivity, after which it was entirely and completely and 100% euthanize without ever being outside a closed and secure environment.  The beetle is, was, and will remain totally dead.  In no way should beetles EVER be transported outside the quarantine zone, something we are now very very aware of.
