Should have kept those two beetles, only Ringo and George left to find before you have your own band. :D

Got that little bachelor band of silverwings hanging about here, those spoiled roosters get all my excess beetles and mealworms :)

Im surprised Bruce ate them. None of mine will eat a darkling beetle, they just slap at them.
