Just a really quick photoshoot with a Nikon D70 I'm borrowing, no macro or anything.

Soooooo tiny. I'm always afraid I'll lose him when I take him out.

Not really it was a kit i took from my work that I just put together, I did have to modify it so it had more ventilation/easier access to feed them.

I have a second version of modifications though, but nobody lives in it (I've only been using it for breeding so far).

I removed the floor and replaced it with mesh and flipped it on it's side so that the main door now opens facing forward.

Has he tried flying away as your talking the pic?

Paradoxica · Dec 20, 2012

This time he was pretty mellow, it was still pretty cold in my house. But last couple times I had him out he made a break for it.

Reminds me of when I was taking pictures of my aeruginosa male. One pic he was on my hand, the next pic right afterwards he wasnt. He had flown to my wall lol.

I finally took some pics of my Binotata nymphs. I believe this guy is L3/L4.

Thanks, I'm waiting to see how the yellow/brownish ones turn out as adult

It looks like I was successful in breeding these little beauties. My first ooth hatched today! It's crazy to think that the L1s can take down FF's!
