I had a skull mount done several years back by a guy who used dermistide (flesh eating) beetles and I loved it. Anyone know of someone in the Midwest who does this?

And how much do they charge per head?

There's a guy I use here in Iowa that was charging $120 to have the head beetled, then degreased and whitened if you want. That is without a plaque. PM for his details if you can't find anyone closer to you.

You can buy them on ebay and usually the seller will buy them back from you at a reduced price.I know someone who has done this several times.

Ive thought about doing this before. Ive heard they smell really bad though and i dont want the house to smell.

Smell is terrible

There is a place in Bunker Hill Illinois called Flesh and Bones that does them for $100

There is Bugman Taxidermy and Artisan Taxidermy in Burlington, Wisconsin.

I have some they definitely have a smell so don't keep in your house.
