2020, November. Netherlands, Rottumerplaat Island, a Wadden Island north of Groningen. Minke whale washed up. Scientists and researchers from the Wageningen Marine Research found 129 different types of beetle in the two years the carcass was rotting away. Around 74 of those had not been seen on the island earlier.
