Flint Beetles are nocturnal, choosing to hide in the grass by day and stay active at night. These creatures keep undigested food pellets in their stomachs to sustain them through winter, but given the right stimulus they will spit them out. Recent research has revealed that these pellets are enveloped in a membrane that seals and preserves them in a sterile, airtight environment. If kept at room temperature, it seems that this pellet membrane will keep its contents fresh for up to six months. The membrane may be made from the same substance that gives the exoskeleton of the flint beetle it's beautiful sheen. | Flint Beetles are nocturnal, choosing to hide in the grass by day and stay active at night.

An essential flavor-accentuating ingredient in gumbo and jambalaya. Also delicious in soups, broths, and marinades. | |||
