Solygia sulcatifrons

Anyone have them in culture in the US?

Hey, somebody found out that this species has a little ability to produce parthogenetic babies! But they are very week, as far as I know.

regards

Great job, by the way, Pelle. Your enclosures must be very huge, this is the biggest species I have ever seen live.

You remember how long they were at L3/L4?

Uhm :blink: Around 4-5 cm I think ?

Thanks tier I keep one adult female in a 41x32x53 cm enclosure. She is scary big indeed..

Cool they can be parthogenetic, didn't know that.. Hopefully I won't find that out myself and the mating wen't ok

Idolomorpha lateralis

Metallyticus splendidus

No! Wrong! You can imagine, yes. But you can really say when he will post pics of adult females. And when you see them, you will say: "Yes, they are not splendid as nymphs."

:lol:

I used to breed them. I had them for 5 generations. When I was on my way to my 6th, all of my mated females (five!!) refused to lay any ooths. :angry: They are very cool though.
