    Gongylus nymph enclosure

    I like the aquariums and put a but of sticks and climbing accessories on the glass. They also don't like a lot of humidity so a have a wide screen for circulation.

    Coronavirus: Thoughts?

    Thank you for your help and being on the frontlines. It's definitely not blown out of proportions. Sadly, we haven't seen the worse based on the stats from Italy and China. We are behind them on the curve. I live in a big city and my family is in NYC, its not a good situation there.

    Feet falling off, humane euthanasia, and other things

    They are more than bugs to many of us so you are not alone. I freeze my older companions when they look like they are having a hard time. Sometimes, I wish they had longer lives.

    Good to know. I have always hatched with a diapause.

    Brunner’s hatch time

    The diapause is key and yeah, they take forever to hatch and then one at a time.

    Brunneria hatchling care

    lol, yeah they are messy. I would just leave the soupy mess and put a covering over it with a larger enough hole that the springtails can exit. and then put bounty almost fully covering the hole. I don't use them because they are a pain and the nymphs can just drown in the mess. But, if thats...

    Brunneria hatchling care

    Spring tails are good, they will take Melanogaster at L1 (at least most of mine did). Gnats works too but they are hard to catch for the brunners, they are fast fliers. Give it a try, won't hurt.

    Brunneria hatchling care

    Alternatives: They will take down melanogasters not hydeis. If you can get your hands on aphids in your yard or anywhere (they are everywhere). They like those too. But after a few days of hunger they will take down melanogaster fruit flies. They have small jaws but even at such a small size...

    Best practice for communal setup?

    I raise Violins communally and I do rotate them in and out of communal groups dependent on age, *** and fitness. As @Budwingsaid before, one major key factor is giving them enough space and food. They are all opportunist and if they are hungry or there is easy prey like their weak sibling, well...

    Should I mate my Idolomantis?

    I use the liner too! Didn't work. They are so clumsy. They hook on really well all the way until final molt.

    Should I mate my Idolomantis?

    It took awhile. My subs females are going on week 4 and no swollen budwings. If I had to guess, I would say 5-6 weeks. Depends how much food they get and temp.
