Should be fixed now. I would not have noticed this post if I didn't happen to notice that you tried to create a second account with us. Only one account per member. Welcome and sorry for the difficulty. The system did flag you as a spammer initially because you happen to share a connection that...

I raise both for dead stock sales, but neither is very prolific. The firebrats seem easier than the silverfish. Heat, dry, oatmeal and cardboard pieces. I think I got the firebrats from somebody here on the forum a while back. I make only a half effort with them, but don't really need them to do...

I suppose decorating your folder with moths is, for some, like wearing fur. Humans didn't have as many options for adornment in the early days, eh? Insects, to me, are like moving flowers. Or kites or balloons without strings, usually just out of reach. Nothing we make quite equals.

Sounds more like a break in your wireless internet service, to me. Then again, you found a way to write that post.

Was it the file size (in kb or mb) or the image size (in pixels) that it said was too large? Please share the exact figures for your photo in both cases. The forum probably does limit both the dimensional size as well as the file size. I'm not sure which limiter you two are passing.

I had a slightly similar thing happen a few weeks ago. I had two guys over and we spent half the day sorting dead bugs in my insect freezer in the garage. It was a beautiful afternoon and I had the garage door up. We were preserving some of the specimens in ethanol and since the lab grade stuff...

I bought some from KenTheBugGuy a few years back. His wife was having some success in raising them. Aside from that we have a longtime member on this forum from New Zealand whose username may or may not be Peripatus, aptly and if memory ~serves, and he has offered these and Orthodera mantises to...

Yeah, I asked my friend at work tonight and he gave me a look that pretty much reflected what you said in words. He did say he sees dead drones, but his other question was effectively, "even if there were a bunch of dead ones in there, how are you going to get them out?". I suspect he has a...

If anybody has a pile of (dead) bees in decent condition from seasonal die-off, I'd be interested in chatting with you. I've got a local friend with a few hives so I'll have to hit him up too. He gave me my first jar of honey with actual honeycomb in it a few years back. I'd never actually seen...

Awesome thread, Agent! That C. regalis larva is crazy. It would be interesting/helpful to see the instar listed next to each photo.

You should really be more careful about what you eat, Agent. There are easier ways to collect pseudoscorpions. I have a new starter colony from Arizona as of a few weeks ago. A couple females have extruded orange egg pouches.

Just saw a few C. splendens on our sheets in Arizona. Great post, Agent!

Transactions with Tammy consistently exceed my expectations!

Just completed another transaction with Jamurfjr and here to report a pattern of consistency in all areas! My second transaction with him. Won't be my last!

Oh, and BidaBug was an auction site I began a number of years back to help raise money for the American Tarantula Society and other non-profits. I had hoped that hobbyists would support the Ebay-like auction style format for a good cause, but it became tiresome really fast and that, combined...

Ha, fun topic! Most of the blanks have been filled in. Leah and DeShawn (mantiskingdom.com) began the forum (help me out here, Orin). There's some gossipy stuff from that first year or so that I wonder if Rick privately recalls. I was in the hobby before this forum, but dabbled mostly in...

Your scorpionflies are nicer than ours out West. Our females hardly have wings at all. I saw my first one in April: http://bugguide.net/node/view/764126 (male) http://bugguide.net/node/view/775107 (female) I'm sending mine off to a DNA researcher to determine whether they are a new species...

Warn points issued to 3 members for: 1. Starting a thread on a topic that had been mod-deleted. (would typically result in a suspension) 2. Discriminating remarks against a sexual orientation 3. Attacking forum management in the public space

Closing this thread for later review (read the first page only, so far). Shipped my 13 boxes of bugs today and have to forward off tracking numbers for customers before my kids come home and need homework help. Then I'm off to my job before I get up and do it all again tomorrow. Overmoderation...

Woods, schmoods, that's a great beetle! Don't buy the lens. I can see trees in my backyard ;) Jussst focus on bugs, bugs, bugs. There are a lot of rove beetles with really interesting coloration including reds, variegates and iridescent purple!
