Dear Mariana,beetles and other insects do not like Formaline.The tissues
very hard so you may have to do the work by hand.You can get as much flesh
off as possible and soak in water...changing the water often.Simmering,NOT
BOILING,also might work once you've removed most of the flesh.Let me know
how this works out.
Cheers
Peter
