Answer:
They will go into diapause after a short time. Insects are highly adaptable that way. If conditions are not right for a particular life stage to emerge, or in this case, for simple survival, insects will enter into a dormant stage known as diapause. This staging ability to achieve suspended animation is probably the best explanation as to why insects are the longest living group of organisms on the planet. This diapause stage can be achieved in the egg stage, or any stage from there on, they can wait out any unfavorable conditions for up to several years.
The beetles I think you are referring to are probably darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae). These are the adults of the very common meal worms that are bought at the pet stores. These beetles can for sustainable colonies for years at time. They will eat the bodies of other dead members of their culture, but they will not canibalize themselves.........
