[QUOTE="revilo, post: 9237, member: 291"] Hi, this is my first post here. We keep our white-spotted assassin bugs in a screw down cage according to USDA rules. Here, in the US, a permit is generally required to keep this species. When they bite they inject a combination of venom and concentrated hydrochloric acid. If you got a full bite it would definately require a trip to the hospital. Think massive ulceration and muscle damage down into the bone. I always use forcepts to handle them. We keep them on a loose bed of sphagnum with several long stick angled up to the sides of the cage. The cage is about 3'x1.5'x2.5' all plexiglass and metal. There are around seventy adults in the cage and juveniles are raised seperately. Sixty or so crickets are fed at a time, less will make them attack each other. [/QUOTE]
