Thanks so much for the I.D s Hisserdude! :)

I love Heterochaeta's pointy eyes, largeness, stick-like body and coloration! Truly one of my favorite mantid species!

These are easy to make ventilation holes in with a soldering gun or an electric wood burner :)

I made a blog post with all the darklings I would like an I.D for, and included a better picture of this one :) . Here is the link. http://allaboutinsectsblog.blogspot.com/2016/04/identification.html Hope you can I.D them :)

Whoah! I just looked them up and saw a larvae, they look like beetle and larvae mixed together, but more on the side of a beetle!

Hi Everyone! I made a blog! :) I mostly made it to show pictures of my various pet insects. Here's a link for it, hope you guys enjoy! I'm going to make a lot of posts on there! :D http://allaboutarthropods.blogspot.com/

Hi Hisserdude! Here is a picture of one of my darkling that you said you may be able to identify from beetleforum! It's not very good because I had to crop it a lot to fit it into the requirements for a photo, but here you go! :)

Thank you! :)

Thanks, guess sometimes you got to learn the hard way. I never though that a roach could die because of moist substrate. Luckily now I know, and my birthday is coming up at the end of the month so I'll be able to replenish my Egyptian semi-colony. :)  

Yep! I want to grow them as fast as I can, so I can get this colony up and breeding!

Dang! When I went to see how many of the nymphs had survived I only saw 2 that were fine, 2 that won't barely move but weren't dead yet, and 4 dead ones! :( On a good note though, I should be able to keep those 2 alive for sure and I'm drying out the substrate.

Thanks! :)  They have been doing well so far, they have been growing pretty fast, and eating A LOT! :lol:

Thanks for the info! I was told when I bought these that they should be kept slightly moist and that they could dessicate easily at this size. The moist substrate could explain the deaths that I've been having, I will try to get some of the moisture out as soon as possible. Hope I can save them!

Great, Thanks! :)

Yep look exactly like the ones I had, so they should be scaber. :)

Bugsincyberspace has some mesh cubes for sale.

So cool!

Hisserdude, to confirm this is a male right? I wanted to know because I just housed my adult male G.oblongonota with it and wanted to make sure it was a male so there will be no breeding.

The unknown species might be Porcellio scaber. When I caught some many were orange.

No problem! I love sharing photos of my insects!
