Galapoheros, what you saw was most likely a species of Plinthocoelium, and based on the specific local you saw it at, quite possibly P.suaveolens plicatum. Hope this helped!

Glad you guys like them! I figured even if someone isn't necessarily "into" beetles, they'd still appreciate their chromatic brilliance! Even still, it's virtually impossible to capture their true color in a picture.

They've finally started to emerge! 5 have successfully eclosed thus far (still have 16 pupae left). They have been raised on a 100% maple based substrate (70% leaves, 30% wood) and are all in excellent health (figured you'd want to know Orin!). They spend all their time either munching on beetle...

I find this hilarious! I'm glad the ISU Department of Entomology decided to share a little bit of knowledge with anyone willing to do the slightest bit of fact checking! http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/iiin/agluteus.html

Great vid! Cant wait for mine to arrive!

Every once in a while on ebay there's a man selling freshly hatched GALS as "fishfood" to comply with ebay regulations. They're ridiculously cheap as well, somewhere around $3 US for a group of 5 of em'. He lives somewhere close to england and will ship them to the states. Now keep in mind I am...

No, you wont find any lats in this part of the state (the entire west side is void of them). However, in Yakima you may be able to find some. I found 6 adult females in Yakima over the summer, although it may be getting a bit late in the season for you to find any right now :(

If your keeping a crayfish in a KK with no filter I sure hope your planing on doing daily partial water changes. Cray's are MESSY! And if kept in conditions with to high of an ammonia/nitrate/nitrite content will quickly develop shell rot and die :(

That is Paruroctonus boreus.

I put some isopods in my hisser colony and watched them all get eaten within minutes of their introduction :(

Juvenile what?

I've kept lots of them over the years and all of mine have lived several years on a diet of lettuce, carrots and slightly moistened dog biscuits.

What a great find! You should poast some ventral pics for sexing :D

Congrats! I wish all my scorps had "maggots" :D

Looks like some species of Phormictopus to me.

I got a little baby JCP on the 18th of last month and she still hasn't eaten. She's about 17"-18" and I was told it was taking frozen thawed peach fuzzies. I've tried feeding her at night, in the morning, and just about every other time of the day and she still will not eat. Does anybody have...

Thats friggin awesome!

It sucks that incei's are such an underrated species :( IMO, they are one of the most visually stunning t's hands down :worship:

We need to start culturing those :D

My rosie's 14 and is still going strong :D
