About 5 months later....I finally did draw it! I drew a nymph and might try to draw an adult later. Plus some other bug art over the past few months. I got some crayons and watercolor markers for Christmas so I've been trying them out! And I've been trying out 3d modeling! I printed...

That's true! I don't think my time watching it was wasted, I still got to see some cool bugs. The camera footage was pretty good most of the time too.

Hmmmmmmmmm 1. Fig wasp - They're so cool! And I love figs! 2. Antlion - Their larval stage is shown a lot, but not their adult one, which would be cool to see in a documentary. 3. Glow worms! - I didn't even know they were real until like 5 years ago. Their hunting habits are cool and they...

I am interested in buying 2 nymphs of the following species - preferably around i3-i5. They don't have to be from the same person! I have two enclosures, so I made two "categories" of species that I'm looking for. I'm not looking to breed them, so male/female does not matter (slight preference...

Like yeah yeah I guess they're the most relatable/interesting to the general population but there's SO much diversity in bugs! When it wasn't ants, it was bees (thankfully not honeybees though). Plus some of the more 'well-known' bugs like dung beetles, mantises, monarch butterflies, and...

This recently came out on Disney+, and I was really excited to see a series solely about bugs! I'm pretty mixed about it, so here are my thoughts. Good - Bugs! - Nice footage - Some less popular bugs were featured - Some nice connections to integrated pest management and coexisting with...

. Wandering! I'm surprised at how well she can cling on to plastic (she has a mesh strip on the side for easier climbing, but she has never used it and seems to prefer a challenge)

I've seen mine drink pretty often! Mine seem to drink more often as adults, and sometimes I'll hold a dropper up to them so they can get a drink.

Greenbean is a perfect name! I bet he enjoyed his last weeks of free food and warmth! Your new guy is really cool, I love the pink eyes!

My ghost likes to hang out upside down on the top mesh as well! She'll sometimes climb the branch I have in her enclosure, but nowhere near as much as my other mantis (jewel flower) explored his cage. It's nice to give them the option for more exploring though! I think the update makes the cage...

She didn't lay any more! She just kinda wandered her whole enclosure up and down a couple times and seemed to be eyeing the cleanup isopods. I offered her a few houseflies and she devoured them. I've still noticed her flexing her abdomen a bit but I haven't seen any more ooth progress

Hello! 1. I had some trouble finding care sheets for them as well - when I get back to my apartment, I can try to find an old isopod container I got that had a QR code link to one. The beginner species are pretty easy, and I haven't had trouble with mine. The most important elements of their...

My space friend responded! Here are some space names they came up with! pulsar [rotating neutron star] quasar [AGN with jets] blazar [AGN who's jet points towards earth] corona [aura of plasma that covers cool stars] epoch [time measurement for any 'era' of astronomical time] equinox [when...

Hmm maybe some of the NASA shuttle names? Challenger, Enterprise, Columbia, Discovery, Endeavour, Atlantis. Some constellation names? Andromeda, Cepheus, Crux, Draco, Orion, Perseus, Pyxis, Vela. There's not really any cool names for space structures or phenomena, but maybe Nebula? Or Meteor...

Hello! Welcome! Ghosts are super fun little guys and I bet you'll enjoy having one!

She still hasn't laid anything, and she is VERY grumpy. I've been checking on her about twice a day to mist the enclosure, I think I'll try to give her a fly tomorrow to see if she'll take it

Hello! I haven't bred my ghost mantis, and she's laying an unfertilized ooth. I wasn't able to find much on what to do/not to do when mantises are laying ooths, so I thought I'd say what's happening here and see if there's anything I need to do. I noticed Cilantro laying an egg yesterday, but I...

Cilantro chilling in her enclosure! I've been having a hard time keeping any plants in it alive, but she mostly hangs around the top anyways.

Hello! Welcome back!

Rainbow mealworms is pretty good! If you're looking to buy isopods for a cleanup crew I highly recommend them, my package got lost but after a week everybody was still alive and in good shape. I had an...incident with the blue bottle flies I ordered where several of them escaped and haunted my...
