    Leaf litter question

    I'd like to know about hibiscus too. I have some in my yard and the grasshoppers and mealy bugs love them, at least.

    Millipede & Blue Death Feigning Beetle name suggestions

    I like to pick names from media series. All my DFBs are named after Simpsons characters, mantises are Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, assassin bugs from Bob's Burgers, etc. What are you watching/reading right now? :)

    Triceratops Beetle

    Just a correction, I was mistaken in my ID and this is a similar species of rhino beetle but not a triceratops beetle. I've since caught a male a few days ago. He was stuck on his back on my patio and I thought he was dead. I had nothing better right then so I fed him some grape jelly and he...

    Millipede Behavior

    Well I'm really glad to hear this-- as long as it doesn't seem to be a symptom of bad health or cage conditions, it's actually pretty cute. I got this video of it, does this look like the same thing? I'm using bagged potting soil right now. The store kept it in soil with no other substrate...

    Millipede Behavior

It seemed to be grooming itself but then it started flailing the upper 1/4 of its body and sort of wiped its dorsal side back and forth across the...
