I see no reason why that wouldn't work; I've kept millipedes, isopods and springtails together with no issues. Fruit beetles should be equally harmless. Coco fibre should do as substrate. Maintenance is fairly minimal, spray the enclosure and provide fresh food, the springtails and woodlice will...

A smaller species of rove beetle might work, often when I find o.olens in the field there isn't much sign of other life. They are veracious.

I have in my possession a large vivarium approximately 80-100 litres. It has installed heating and a UV lamp, ideal for reptiles, however I plan to make it invert orientated. A kind of huge communal enclosure, with plants, scavengers, herbivores and maybe some predators. I have done similar...

I've recently purchased a mating pair of black beauty stick insects (peruphasma schultei). I'm aware than then eat privet, but curious to know what other plants they can be fed. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you all for your help, I stopped feeding my mantis crickets and locusts and it lived a further month or so before dying of natural causes.

I completely agree. Destruction of the natural world is both immoral and short-sighted. It will ultimately lead to our demise.

Thank you all for your replies; I have seen the ants canada youtube channel and I am aware of the talcum powder method, but just wanted to know if vaseline worked as well (as I have it). I'll just have to take that arduous walk to the shops and buy some talcum powder. Again, thank you.

Can I use Vaseline to keep ants from escaping their formicarium?

Would the predator species not bother each other?

Do the harvest men breed?

Anyone know about some cool inverts to look out for in south east England, more specifically London?

Anyone been to the aes (amateur entomological society) show in London, if so is it worth a visit?

Coco fibre, stagnahm moss, cork bark, propped up sticks, generally a moist environment

Hi, I'm currently creating a communal invert tank (various different inverts that will not harm one another in one tank, millipedes, beetles etc). Anyone have any suggestions on what species would be good?

Do you think dehydration could be the problem?

Hello, I currently own a male creobroter melagris mantis. It reached maturity about five months ago, so most likely will not have much longer to live. I gave it a locust, which it ate, and on returning I found a strange brown substance on the side of the tank. The substance seems to contain...
