    Acontista multicolor

    Thank you :) I didn't realize they had such beautiful coloration until I flashed the light at it to get some pics. Under normal light they look uniformly black/brown on dorsal side.

    Stiretrus anchorago

    Indeed! Wish they were more popular in the hobby. At the time I was breeding these I didn't know I could buy wax worms from Petco so i had to collect Polistes nests to feed these hungry buggers

    Gonatista grisea

    Some nymph pics Unfortunately, out of 70 nymphs that hatched majority of them died while I was transporting them from my parent's house to off-campus apartment I stay in :( They seem to like squeezing through cracks and end up getting trapped and exhaust themselves to death.
