So I opened the box and there's about 10 little black bugs. Bag inside is knotted up. I haven't opened the bag yet. I took pics of it and it's called Pseudocanthon perplexus. A form of dung beetle. I used AI bug identifier and it looks like it.

From what I read online they don't harm plants and actually break down manure into balls that plants roots can use the nutrients are readily available.

Do you think it's safe to use it as is and test it out?
