    Parablepharis kuhlii

    Those look great. Sorry I have never kept them but I'd guess they'd be kept like Phyllocrania because of the way the body structure looks.

    Halloween or Moon Crabs

    I don't think they need saltwater. It's not bad, it's just more likely to cause problems if they keep tipping it over into the substrate. They eat apples and rotten leaves too.

    Isopod Experiment: A. Vulgare Choice Chamber Tests

    One thing to keep in mind is a desire to eat something does not equal suitability. Imagine if you tried the same experiment with humans and had one room with candy, another with red meat, a third with tofu and a fourth with alcohol and drugs.

    Pill millipedes

    I've bred some small ones but I'd suggest a neat isopod rather than wasting a lot of time and money to fail. The biggest and cheapest large Armadillidium currently available at a decent price is granulatum.

    Chloramine in water.

    I don't think very many public water systems are switching to chloramine, it's primarily an attempt to reduce TTHMs but it has its own problems. There are only a few systems in my state that use it and other alternatives make more sense for most. Chloramine can also be removed with activated...

    How to delete old attachments?

    Most people post photos that are many times larger than needed and use up their space only because the file sizes are massive. Images can be changed in a few seconds in paint by reducing size in stretch. You can check the file size before and after and save under a different name to test. Most...

    NEVER USE A BUTTERFLY ENCLOSURE FOR IDOLOMANTIS

    Are there specific netting specifications listed for what seems to work and what doesn't? I'm sure different brands of butterfly cages don't use the exact same netting.

    Emesaya brevipennis

    Any luck getting it to eat? Did you try flies or small moths? It will glue eggs individually to the sides or top of the container. They hatch out after about a month and are so small and long their bodies and legs look like they're made of human hair.

    Bug Fest August 5th and mantids

    I have some tables at a big Bug Day Festival in Canfield Ohio on August 5th. I just realized I don't have any decently sized display mantids. If anybody has a big female of something that would make a cool display I'm sure the kids and adults would appreciate seeing it.

    NEW PUBLICATION

    Sounds like a great book. When you say peer-reviewed do you mean you submitted it through a service like Publons or just that you had certain people review your text? To whom did your peer review call go?
