Question 191

On an $8 \times 8$-board there is a beetle on every square. At a certain moment the distribution of the beetles on the board changes: every beetle crawls either one square to the left or one square diagonally to the bottom right. If a beetle can make neither of the two movements without falling off the board, it stays on its square.
At most how many squares can end up empty by this change?
