    Hatched silk moth!!!

    Glad I could assist.  :D Congrats on the possible silkworm babies! If you are in the USA, I'd be interested in buying or trading for some of your silkworms (if they hatch out).  Please PM me if you have some and are interested in rehoming some of them!

    Video of Gary the Grove Snail

    I always found snails to be rather amazing.  I've kept many aquatic snails, land snails once.  I gave away the land snails and always wished I had kept some, they were very rare.

    Congrats on the silk moths!  They are on my list of inverts to raise full circle.  As for your questions: 1. Do they have a drying period after they hatch, like mantids do?  As far as I'm aware, all inverts with an exoskeleton have a drying period after molting (or emerging).  They must be soft...

    Mantis has lost a forearm

    It can live a full life with the use of one "arm".  Just be sure to monitor it's feeding and be sure there is nothing it can get it's other "arm" caught on. Good Luck!  :D

    Exotic Butterflies

    The only way to get exotic butterflies, is if you are a zoo, museum or other institution of the sort.  Even when I worked at a butterfly farm in Florida, and when I worked at a traveling butterfly conservatory,  we were not allowed to get exotics.  We couldn't even get butterflies from different...
