Acanthaspis petax

[TrapdoorSpiderLover]

Does anybody know if acanthaspis petax is in the US hobby? they are the assassin bugs that wear the exoskeletons of its victims to hide from jumping spiders

If they are here, then they are here illegally. All non-native assassin bugs require a USDA-APHIS permit to own.

I have never seen nor heard tell of them being in the hobby, the U.S or otherwise.

Thanks,
