I know it’s a Huhu beetle but I’m curious what kind of ants are crawling over it, about 3 mm. I’ve not noticed these tiny ants on the property before. Also for the last 30 minutes a number of ants are just going around and around the board, why are they not on the beetle with the other ants? Since the beetle died this am I suspect all the surrounding ants are waiting until it decommissioned.

Found this bug hunting with kids. What is it? How long until it finishes metamorphosis? What’s the best container to keep it in?

As I was cleaning out my snail and slug box this guy was attached to my brush, "waging its tail". As some of the snails had been eaten I removed the slugs. I teach environmental ed in primary schools. Until I hear back I will put it in a container with some cabbage leaves. As I am typing this it is on its "feet" periodically waging its tail from side to side. Thanks for your help! Dean
