0:00.0 | Hey side hustle school listeners, it's Chris Killabo. I got something I bet you have never |
0:10.7 | heard of today. In fact, I'm going to be shocked if you've heard about it before, at least |
0:14.2 | I was shocked when I heard about it. So let's just jump right to it. How would you like |
0:18.4 | to set up a colony of beetles in your home? Beetles is in insects, and put them to work |
0:23.8 | for you. And these are no ordinary beetles they are in fact flesh eating beetles. And their |
0:28.8 | job is going to be to clean animal skulls for fun and profit. Well I know what you're |

1:28.1 | her best and only employees, Carla takes a raw specimen and turns it into pristine bone, |
1:33.6 | clean, bright and white. Her work may be seen at a museum as part of a historical or educational |
1:38.4 | display or just hung over the mantle at someone's house. In case it's not immediately obvious, |
