Im looking to buy a bunch of deli cups for young mantids and centipedes. Buying this much single use plastic makes me feel lazy. Any eco friendly options?

Peeked in the incubator and saw that one of the ooths hatched! According to the caresheet, this species can be housed together for awhile. Any experience with that? Putting them in a group enclosure now but will change if necessary. Pics soon.

So one of my violins mismolted 3 weeks ago and lost two legs. For the first 2 weeks he was perching and hanging just fine. He (i think it’s a he) recently started falling and struggling a lot.  The other violins in the enclosure have had a few molts and no problems.  I was considering putting...

Scolopendra white legs. She’s super docile and coming in at 6.5” only about half of what she’ll be in a few years.

Hey all I got a few centipedes that have been taking a lot of my arthropod attention. Most of my Ghosts are doing great except for the one mismolt that didnt make it.  I came across someone on FB recently that had a few Gongy ooths hatch. So when they got to L4, I had 4 shipped to me. This...

I have 3 subadult ghosts and one adult, all brown. I have 5 l5/l6 ghosts on the way in various colors. Can I keep the males together regardless of instar? What about the females? My students are sooooo into all the bugs, having an closure with a few different colors of the same species would be...

Two species of assassins and some G oblongonota hissers, one recently molted and then the same one a few hours later. and the D maculatus cleaning a bobcat.  And my favorite bug, Junebug the cattledog.

So I’ve got some ghosts from graceface and some more ghosts in green and tan from panterrapets on the way..... I got a line on some gongys. It’s easy for me to keep a hot and dry environment and I think these are super cool looking. I’ve read a few caresheets and am thinking I’m gonna get a few...

Im sure this has happened to countless mantis owners....  I bought 1000 housefly pupae from Joshes frogs and only about 50 or so hatched. Graceface sent me a few bb pupae as well and those are gone.  I ordered some more but due to the holiday they wont ship until tuesday. I kept them in the...

Hey all Im new to Mantids but not insects. I have a hisser colony, a mealworm colony, a few dozen assassins and a huge dermestid colony. Im not looking to feed the ghosts dermestids but Im curious if I can use these as feeders for future mantids. Anyone have any experience or thoughts?

Hi all Im a teacher at a homeschooling program in southern CA. My job lets me bring my own interests in as long as I can develop lessons around them. This year the students have been really curious about bugs so I brought in some Hissers, Assassins and just recently some Ghosts that I got from...
