Let the bugs work on your heads outside naturally just make sure they are kept in a wire cage away from thieves. His funniness about the bugs cracks me up. Carnivorous dermestid beetles are found everywhere in the world including your own backyard. So true don't boil your head too long! My coyote head started to flake. Teeth collected after that had fallen out and they do. Superglue works wonders but not easy to fit them back in correctly. Bleach and peroxide dip to whiten after and day or two to dry depending on the size of mount. Acrylic resin or shellac spray to seal after. *Warning* it doesn't seem to keep the thieves from trying to make them dinner!
Best kept inside after being sprayed.

I prefer to work with small vertebrae animals.
Let's just call it recycled roadkill to art.
I despise hunting! :)
