Superworms, which are larvae of a beetle similar to mealworms, have shown promising results in cleaning skeletons efficiently, according to a study published in PLOS One.
The research, led by Fatemeh Rastekar from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in Iran, highlights the potential of these larvae to revolutionize practices in osteology.
As their use in pet food is already well-established, the findings could pave the way for new applications in scientific research and preservation.
