Immatures are currently 1/2" and white, one of the adults pictured is about 2", probably the biggest of the paradoxosomatids.

Mezium americanum (American spider beetle), PM me if you can't find them but I know there's a 35-year-old stock of Mezium in circulation.

I'm going to change my vote to spider beetles- most foolproof insect ever, super neat looking but small

I'm a fan of Eleodes spinipes giant Darkling beetles Also, Hemiphileurus and Phileurus are long-lived predatory rhino beetles

Nice newer species in the isopod hobby.

Just remember not to dry it out or make it moldy.

Where in Ohio, there's a reptile show where you can find some neat things Sunday.

I wonder how many people have these.

This species is possibly the oldest continuously maintained Spirostreptid stock (circa 1995). I remember seeing captive produced around continuously since that time but cannot verify new lines weren't introduced. Females grow to over 6" (for real, not the 2-4" common exaggeration on millipede...

I've been bitten by some monster centipedes but so far never by a scorpion. The worst so far was by a Polistes wasp under my nose between the nostrils. Had a yellow jacket nest in the basement and cemented the outside, spent weeks sweeping up them as they flew around the basement and only one...

If you leave the female out in a screen cage you may find a male or two nearby at night/ early morning.

Don't they always have orange wings?

Sphaerotheriid pills just always die, you could blame a company for carrying them but if you really want to see them they're like cut flowers. People don't bad talk flower shops usually.

I saw your post a while ago but I don't know the name of the company I got mine from (they were at a show).
