Dermestes maculatus DeGeer beetles feed and can leave marks on bones. This species is of medical, veterinary, and forensic importance. The aim of this work was to determine if the depressions produced on bones by these beetles could be product of pupation. We studied under controlled conditions the behavior of D. maculatus larvae maintained at 24°C ± 3°C, 52.7% average relative humidity, and a 12:12-hour light/dark cycle and fed on pig carcasses. Observations were made, and photographs were taken. The results indicated that depressions produced by D. maculatus were consequence of feeding or pupation. This is the first time that pupation chambers on bones are confirmed.
