If you go looking. Id love to hear about your trip! No need to share locations, just like hearing collecting reports.

Thank you! I really hate crickets. Both my fruit fly cultures crashed the day after the violins arrived. Each violin had one cricket a few days later when I couldn't get more fruit flies. Really glad they are on BBs now.  And the crickets now get to wait to be fed to some centipede newborns.

Iim heading to their range this july looking for heros and unicorns. Really hope to find some

Hey all I got a few centipedes that have been taking a lot of my arthropod attention. Most of my Ghosts are doing great except for the one mismolt that didnt make it.  I came across someone on FB recently that had a few Gongy ooths hatch. So when they got to L4, I had 4 shipped to me. This...

So she’s freed. Her wings and back legs are very misshapen. I don’t think she can perch. shes drinking a lot of water. Im going to try to take care of her but I’m going out of town for three days next week and doubt she’ll make it

Her abdomen is free but it looks like two or three legs are stuck. Can I try misting her?

So one of my female ghosts is molting into an adult. Her wings are spread and it appears she is nearly finished but shes been in the same position for few hours now. When I get close she moves her arms and two legs. It looks like her terminal legs may be stuck. I tried taking pics but the...

Very very well done!

Yeah I have it in an enclosure right now. Pretty much a pet hole so Ill probably release it or trade it in a few weeks.  I like all the creepy crawlies, especially the little hunters.

Found this guy yesterday on a walk....

Nice looking hissers! The horns on your male are BIG! Any chance they’re hybrids?  I had to stop keeping the hissers in my bedroom.... They’d get so active at night, I’d wake up hearing them moving around and hissing.  Are you gonna let them breed or are they separated?

I’ll put two or three males together and keep them well fed. Thank you!

I have 3 subadult ghosts and one adult, all brown. I have 5 l5/l6 ghosts on the way in various colors. Can I keep the males together regardless of instar? What about the females? My students are sooooo into all the bugs, having an closure with a few different colors of the same species would be...

Can you harvest and culture your own flies when it warms up?  I really doubt anyone has done a comprehensive study of feeding  empusids crickets vs flies. If all you have access too is crickets, I’m sure the empusids would at least appreciate the offering of a cricket than offering nothing. ...

Best specimen I’ve come across!

My Dermestid bins look pretty intense to say the least! what type of hissers are you getting get? Will you be letting them breed at all?

What’s the result!?!? Seems like good thing to know!

Two species of assassins and some G oblongonota hissers, one recently molted and then the same one a few hours later. and the D maculatus cleaning a bobcat.  And my favorite bug, Junebug the cattledog.

Hahahahaaaa! The assassin bugs keep them in line!

Yeah i use them mostly for skull cleaning. I have a lot of them. I offered them to the ghosts but they weren’t interested.
