Coleoptera comprise 7% of the known diet of wild L. fallax ( Brooks Jr 1982) View in CoL . Beetles were incorporated into the culture process at the facility after the giant mealworm beetle ( Zophobas atratus , Fig. 2E View Fig ) was found to be breeding in the cockroach containers and was noted to be eaten by the captive L. fallax View in CoL . Zophobas atratus is native to Central and South America, and it is believed to be naturally occurring in Dominica ( Peck 2006) View in CoL . Separate colonies of this beetle were established using the method and housing described above for the cockroaches. Both beetle larvae and adult beetles were offered to L. fallax View in CoL .
