Hopefully sometime this year I'll get some, I am really interested in keeping some assassin bugs! :D

I know, they are super cool looking! :) NOOOOO!!! :P

Oh man I love these, I really wish we had these here in Idaho! You're gonna keep it, right? If you want to breed them you'll need mud in the enclosure, the females lay eggs in little mud cells that are attached to the undersides of smooth leaves. The larva of these look pretty freaking awesome...

Very nice assassin collection you got going on there, love the Psytalla horrida! :D

Hmmm... this is a hard one. It's 100% an Eleodes species, but I'm having a hard time getting it down to species. Got any idea where it was collected? And would it be at all possible to get a brighter dorsal shot? I'm thinking it could be E.dentipes, or something similar.

Yeah, several of the desert dwelling Corydiids can easily die from too much moisture, sorry you had to learn like that. :(  Hope the remaining individuals live, and hopefully you will be able to get more! :)

Yeah, I'd give them a moist spot in the cage since they are so small, but the rest of the substrate should be bone dry. Sorry to hear so many of them died off. :(

Cool, neat how much of an appetite they have. :)

Cool! That substrate looks pretty moist, these guys are supposed to be kept bone dry, you can soak one corner of the cage every other week but other than that they need to be kept really dry.

Yes it looks like a male, and a very nice looking one at that. :)

Beautiful species, hope they do well for you! :)

Very nice setup, very detailed and informative! I think this should be a sticky thread! :)

Welcome, (back)! :) :D

Welcome, I hope you enjoy it here! :D  

Wow, most people are quite fond of isopods, even the more squirmish individuals. :D Oh well, I'm sure they'll grow on her.

Nice Porcellionides! I have some myself, but I haven't been able to get any good pictures if them as of yet. I have two that are white, I am hoping I will able to isolate the morph. :)

Happy Easter! :) (Where do you guys even find these emojis?)

They are all housed separately, and when new color forms pop up in my colonies I separate those as well. It's really cool how many new color forms have popped up in my colonies over the past few years, it makes keeping isopods even more fun! :) Yeah I'm using a Kindle fire, I may have to...

Sure I got pics of some of mine on my blog, guess I'll post them here too! :D Oniscus asellus: Cylisticus convexus and C.convexus "Pied" Porcellio scaber "Pied":
