Good to see you're still somewhat alive
quick question (apologies if you're busy): do deformed Eleodes display any pre-death behaviors that are different from those of healthy ones?

We've successfully launched the Domino campaign and we are performing a teneb surgery

Thanks, I am going to completely leave the hobby though...
At least when it comes to keeping live invertebrates that is. :/

It depends on the deformity of course, but if the deformity is a fatal one, then the beetle should slow down and be kinda lethargic a day or two before dying. Other than that, I don't know of any pre-death symptoms.

I do like IDing bugs here on BG when I can, that's not stressful in the least! :D
