note- this was a healthy eleodes larva. it was not leaking hemolymph, nor were the beetles dehydrated.
I have several large dried prunes that provide all the water they need. This large female BDFB pounced and captured it and ate it alive. Nobody was starving. the entire enclosure is crammed full of food.
