suoerworm beetle hole in rear

[Amber31190]

i have my beetles in a meduim sized-critter keeper and there is 3 in it, one of my black beetles has a hole in its rear and is dead, should i leave cause of eggs or throw it alway, also 2 are orangish and the dead one is black, is the colors mean male/female

throw the dead one away and no, the color difference has nothing to do with gender. When the beetles hatch, they are a pale color and take a few days to harden up and turn black. The orange ones aren't quite hardened yet.
