27 of 39 sites checked had larvae, so beetles are reproducing as hoped.
El Dorado Springs, Mo. -- Squirming grubs are a good sign for a project to restore the endangered American burying beetle to the Wah’Kon-Tah Prairie north of El Dorado Springs. Crews from the Saint Louis Zoo, Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released zoo-raised beetles at the prairie on June 5. A male and a female were placed in sod-covered holes together in hopes they would lay eggs and raise young.
