Awesome. Please keep us updated. It is likely a new record.Not yet Rick, going to wait to try and collect more individuals, and then will have to send off the individuals as preserved adults to be properly identified.....but amamantodea's new find is certainly positive (hopefully it is the same species, it would make things a whole lot easier!)
I'll also keep looking Rick
Yesterday morning I found the Ancotista dead, RIP.That's too bad. Sorry to hear she died.
Probably she was at the end of her life cycle.
Well she is in the freezer for a future taxonomic ID.
Will keep looking for more.
Rick, I am looking for Gonatista g, and if I find them I will let you know asap.
Did she eat well when you had her?
Probably she was at the end of her life cycle.
Well she is in the freezer for a future taxonomic ID.
Yes, she actually had a good petite for soldier-flies, which were as long as she was, but a dislike for crickets.
The ooth was laid on the 20th of Ocotber, so gestation period is a little under a month. Anybody able to send me some wingless D melanos relatively quickly? (ill make an ad too)
...nonetheless, still a unique find, but I believe they are a known species (just not documented in FL before) probably from a South/Cetral American country that happened to be stow-aways...
