I agree with S. dehaani. I love this species so much. It's a classic that any myriapod owner should have IMO.

RobC says alot of things. But that's for another time and place. Looks like a Royal Palm to me.

It should also be known that owning these insects privately in the United States is ILLEGAL without the proper PPQ permits issued by the USDA, which are generally only issued to institutions.

They willl release water from their mouth...

I personally try to use keys to ID insects....if the picture is too blurry to look at then I try to avoid narrowing it to species, as some trait that makes it what it is may not be visible.

It's definitely a dung beetle. Where was this collected?

Just thought I should let you know that video is mine, if you press SOFTLY then nothing pops out, and it's a bit more complicated than whether something pops out or not to determine male or female. Have you actually seem Scolopemdromorph genitalia? I researched sexing these creatures for...

Came in expecting weird bug to be dermestid larvae. Leaving satisfied.

I'm sorry...but.....wow. This actually happened.

I just toss my superworms in a container with an inch or two of Cheerios and a potato. You can't separate them? You only need small plastic containers for them.....anything works. You can also try offering deep substrate so they can isolate themselves and pupate. One guy I spoke with puts in...

Are you sure? The legs and head turn a dark brown when they are very close to emerging....they're very easy to get to pupate and emerge....

He IS out of a job. The show ended in 2007.

Well the dried bloodworms never moved lol. Whether or not they got nutrition form them I never knew, but they always grabbed them and would feed on them for extended periods of time. They would get caught in the filter's current, drift by the bugs, and they'd grab em. Other than that I gave...

come join the chat please!

Check out under bark on fallen logs to find overwintering ones. It was in the 20s the other day where I am and there was an audax sunning itself on a wall that was soaked in sunlight.

Here's the thing...would you rather them hunt the wild crocs, kill them, and deplete the wild populations? Or breed them in captivity for these purposes and allow the wild populations to flourish? This farm raises Nile crocs...they aren't in any real danger anyway, except in a select few parts...

I've kept one of these before with fish with no problems, but something interesting I noticed was that they would grab and actually feed on freeze-dried bloodworms when I fed my fish.

Just going off the top of my head right now....black widows (Latrodectus) are probably studied a bunch, as are Loxoceles. I also found articles on reproduction in Pholcus phalangiodes on Google just now.

Sorry for the late reply....I also had the crickets crawl out under the lid even when it was snapped shut....

If you're referring to that KK with the cylindrical tubes......block off those holes where you connect the flap that covered the hole where you remove the tube. My crickets would escape through those all the time before I figured it out.
