"Some of the hardest-working employees at the Field Museum in Chicago are flesh-eating beetles. These scavenger beetles, or dermestid beetles, efficiently clean the animal carcasses that the museum prepares to be specimens for its collection. To date, the beetles have helped researchers add about 80,000 migratory birds to the Field Museum's growing database."
