CONFUSED FLOUR BEETLES 
(Tribolium confusum)
 
Confused flour beetles are a low-maintenance feeder insect that is simple to raise at home. They are relatively slow-growing, adults recorded lasting years and colonies can take time to establish. Both the beetles and their larvae are very high in fat and are used by dart frog breeders to get their animals into breeding condition. Best harvested using a very fine mesh sieve or sifter.
