WAH-KON-TAH PRAIRIE, Mo. -- Bob Merz held a large black beetle with bright orange spots between his thumb and forefinger, admired the colors, and then placed it into a hole alongside a dead, farm-raised, bobwhite quail. Merz hopes that beneath this prairie sod on Wah-Kon-Tah Prairie, released pairs of American burying beetles will mate and help return an extraordinary, endangered insect to Missouri. Wah-Kon-Tah Prairie is owned by The Nature Conservancy of Missouri and managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).
