Oregon! The crocuses are up and last year's primroses too! I noticed tiny leaves on weeping willows and the plums which are also beginning to flower. Seems to me that spring is coming early this year and daylight savings is just around the corner. Welcome! I'm going collecting again tonight.

Hey, I'm writing this post and the mantises aren't even here yet. Crazy? No! I can't prove the sun is going to come up tomorrow but every time I do business with Tammy, the outcome is the same. When my box gets here in a few hours, I know what to expect. Thanks again, Tammy!

Just completed a transaction with Garin33. He's a fantastic person to deal with and I look forward to the next one!

110% satisfied with my recent shipment from Precarious. He's breeds that good stuff and gets it to you at a good price and in good condition.

Orin would know better, but I'm guessing H. marginata on account of location and my inexperience with that species coupled with the seemingly strange blue tips on the terminal legs. Just a guess though!

I remember having 50 slings of these in 2000 or 2001, before a lot of people knew how venomous they were and before I really knew how beautiful they became. I didn't mind feeding the hundred T. blondi slings. Sure, they urticated a lot, but they were somewhat communal and didn't run up my arms...

Parcoblatta?

I had no idea you kept so many roaches. Nice shots!

Hi Stacy, This is certainly not the place to air your grievances as Rick and Orin said, but since you have, perhaps I'll offer a little bit of perspective on the situation for your readers. You are, after all, asking for the public perspective through posting a thread titled "immature poor...

Insects are the ultimate subject matter for photography, in my opinion. Most people wouldn't consider a fruit fly a fitting subject, but your process and results prove otherwise. Fantastic!

Thank you all for not waking me up with phone calls this morning! That's what family's for, right? Maybe I should start a private forum for them ;) . We usually celebrate my birthday a bit early and my sister makes a desert for me, but never cake, exactly. Growing up, I just wanted donuts...

Happy to see the overwhelming majority votes Yes. I did.

I don't consider myself an atheist because being labeled for NOT believing in something is silly. I've gone on record over this before. But I will say that if somebody is pointing a gun at me, I'm saying a prayer. I won't be praying to God, per se, but I'll be going through the motions of...

Just finished The Hobbit in preparation for watching the movie this week. Loved the Lord of the Rings movies! Currently rereading Species Seekers by Richard Conniff because I love it. It's all about the men and women (and consequently their families) that have devoted or allowed their lives to...

Rebecca was right. Off topic content on gun control is hijacking this thread. I have cleaned it up some, but with respect to hopefully everybody that got to retain at least one post with their opinions on why events like this occur. This topic was temporarily removed from the forum but is back...

That is AWESOME!

Brian makes doing business easy! Another great transaction with perfect arrival. Thanks!

I think you may be right!

I recently purchased some mantises from Precarious. Everything about the transaction was pleasant and each nymph showed up in great condition despite the potential obstacles of shipping around the holidays. I look forward to another transaction as soon as he has something for sale!

Your deductive reasoning skills are increasingly acute, Agent, and you may be right, but I have the secret advantage of having spent 3 days collecting with him less than a month ago where we discussed the moths he typically sees in his yard. ;) There are videos on YouTube of frogs fall from...
