You are very welcome! Glad they arrived!
I use bread or fruit to attract them so I can shake them off in another bin. Takes forever like that but since I can't sit and scoop them up for long periods of time I try anything to shorten my moving process.
I put a lot of pupae together and if I want to move any I just scoop up the beetles as they emerge. They are usually a light brown but they move around looking for something to hide under or fruit/veggies.
I have been experimenting with small tea strainers, spoons, soup ladles etc, trying to find something that will work for me. I would rather train them to just go into a measuring cup for me but the only way that has worked is to put wet food in one. Then I get everybody! Little babies, big worms, beetles, party animals....no wait, wrong tub!
