Just got a few of these guys to live in the bottom of my mantis vivariums. They are AWESOME! But no one else in my family thinks so, so I wanted to show someone :*(

Anyway here's some pics. I have 2 O.Texicolens and 2 bumblebees in the 12x12x18 and 6 bumblebees in my 8x8x12. I am re-scaping my 12x12x18 this weekend with new plants so it looks kind of drab right now.

The o.texicolens- the larger one is higher contrast than the smaller one which almost has a peach hue to it. These are so cool and active. The bumblebees burrowed immediately but these guys are up and about on the surface quite a bit and seem to love exploring.
