Miktoniscus medcofi (also native) Ligidium elrodii (another native)

Going to share my pics of isopod pics here :)   Unidentified species from Fishing Pier near Dauphin Island, AL Porcellionides virgatus (our NATIVE ISOPOD)

Thank you :)  These are probably around the same size as A. japonica when they are 1st instar though I can't say for certain since I've never seen any Acromantis nymphs in real life

Had bunch of nymphs hatch out. They are currently feeding on D.melanogaster :)  

They might become available in few months ;)

Yes, with 8 nymphs it'd be easy to get them breeding :) Apparently Michiganmantidguy has been keeping this species for multiple generations, and he recently had a hatch so hopefully they'll circle around in the hobby once again :) Hopefully they'll become available soon :)  

I'll be having a couple of species available within 2~3 months ;) Awesome! Looking forward to it :)  

IKR?  Me too! I especially like their length! It is undoubtedly the longest mantid I've seen in real life :)

Bought 11 nymphs from a breeder as 6th instar nymphs. Unfortunately 3 came DOA (fortunately I got refund for the 3), but the remaining nymphs made it alive and are growing well. Most are subadults now and one of them recently molted to adult :)  Interestingly, it seems that I have 3 males and...

Well....these guys get much bigger than our native species. Apparently Psytalla horrida is the largest species of assassin bug available in our hobby atm. You should try keeping some Platymeris as they are easy to care for, and live quite long! ;)   Thanks :) You should try keeping some too! ;)

Psytalla horrida

Took some pics of my assassins :) Platymeris sp. "mombo" Platymeris rhadamanthus Platymeris biguttatus

Didn't you get one of the females to connect with the male? 

Thank you :) Hopefully both of my females will mate and breed for me :)

Thank you :)   Thank you :)  My females molted this week! One ended up with deformed wings, but the other looks perfect

I'm looking for Pseudocreo nymphs (or adults) atm. Please PM me if you have them available within the US.  Am willing to trade them with an adult pair of Acontista multicolor if needed. 

Woohoo! Congrat.! I'm waiting on my brunners to hatch. They are taking FOREVER! LOL

I keep several isopods atm, both native and introduced species. Been really getting into them lately :)  

That's a bristly millipede, family Polyxenidae. As far as I know they are herbivores. 

Just realized you are also on this forum! Glad to see you on here :) I'm Cariblatta lutea from roachforum by the way
