Where do you live? If you have any kinds of ponds or lakes in your area you should be ale to catch stuff like that yourself, although it is getting late in the season. Water scorpions are often abundant in aquatic weeds near the shore. You could also invest in a portable black light and head out to the countryside and see what you can attract.I've been wanting to get some. Either it be Ranatra, or abedus, Dytiscidae(sp?), so on and so forth. I know I've seen a few in the early days of my arachnid/bug obsession. But since then, I have seen none at all.
Wow. They've got the cheapest mantis oothecas I've seen. $6.50. They also say they can't ship waxworm larvae to OH. What's up with that?A company called Nasco sells science supplies, I've seen live dragonfly larvae and giant water beetles for sale might be worth checking out. http://www.enasco.com/c/science/Live Materials/Invertebrates/
They probably are highly invasive in your state, they don't ship animals where they could be invasive.Wow. They've got the cheapest mantis oothecas I've seen. $6.50. They also say they can't ship waxworm larvae to OH. What's up with that?
There definitely is a market for them, especially since I live nowhere near a body of water for miles, it's kind of hard to find these weird creatures. : )Uh, in my area I could get all sorts of crazy aquatic insects. Didn't realize there was a market for them.
