Table 1: Average beetle weights (mg), average total proportional weight change (Day 17 – Day 1 / Day 1), and average frass count for female and male beetles. Standard errors are in parentheses. Six beetles were dropped from the analysis, one beetle exposed to tapeworm eggs was uninfected, and a total of 131 beetles survived until Day 17.
