Yeah. Most likely no survivors from a winter ooth hatching.

I saw an Inside Edition story the other day, about checking your Christmas tree for ooths when you bring it inside. Kinda makes me want to get a real tree this year. https://www.insideedition.com/media/videos/ohio-woman-discovers-praying-mantis-eggs-in-real-christmas-tree-84785

Are they taking the waxworms? What happens when you offer roaches? What kind of roaches are you giving them?

I'm not a total cad. I grieved when my Shelfordella lateralis colony crashed. They'll flourish for months, and then collapse like a house of cards. My cricket success has made up for that, however. I've got a particular generation of Acheta Domesticus that is still chirping after 4 months...

Ah, but we should admire them for what they are, and not despair when the inevitable occurs. Are you a science fiction buff? Alien (1979) is classic. ASH: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? A perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its...

If you were a fly, it would kill you in a heartbeat. Just thought I'd give you some perspective. ;)

The cost of the artificial diet would put it out of my price range: https://www.educationalscience.com/insect-diets/gulf-fritillary-diets

I don't think Skynet will become self-aware anytime soon.

My Dubias are outgrowing their bin. Just wondering if anyone is interested in a batch of 100-200 in mixed sizes at about half the going rate. Maybe 200 adults (and miscellaneous juveniles) for $40? Shipping cost would be on top of that. Please let me know, and I'll purchase the appropriate...

I remember a Peter Clausen Valentine's Day video. Something about "Spending time with the one you love" and Peter's in a bathtub full of water bugs. It's on his Instagram page. One of these days, I need to find that video again.

You're in good company.

I'm just fine, so long as the peas don't touch the carrots.

My brother sends me jokes. Just thought I'd share.

I've been diagnosed with CDO. It's like OCD, but all the letters are in alphabetical order as they should be.

But the pantyhose is porous. My thinking is that the smell only emanates from the relatively small hole at the narrow end of the funnel. If the funnel was made of something porous like screen, the smell would emanate from the entire top of the trap. Inverting the whole think might help as...

I once made a similar trap, and then it occurred to me that maybe I should have formed the funnel out of screen material. You want to maximize the amount of nasty smell that gets out into the world.

Other than freezing, the only other option I can think of would be a separate exit. One that's ordinarily plugged with foam or something. It would have to be up high, to take advantage of their desire to climb.

So the females is still alive and receptive by the time the males have reached mating age? That's the concern, when both genders come from the same ooth.

Yeah. Technology stinks.

They don't all look roachy. Just call them something else. Beetles sounds more benign.
