Infestation seems to have popped up overnight and he has many on his head. Tried wiping them away with a q-tip but they seemed to be glued in place. They are extremely small and barely visible but I don’t want them to adversely affect the beetle or transfer to me.

I won’t keep it as a pet but its nice to know its safe from predators & hopefully happy where he/she is.
I’ve added some rotting wood from the garden & ill keep an eye on it.
Thanks for your article.
