pretty neat that you can just find those types of things outside in your local area, especially at this time of the year.

I haven't seen a bug larger than .5mm outside in multiple months ;'(

Yeah it’s pretty neat! they were about the only things I found out at my park the last couple days! but they are gorgeous and so vibrant here! The only things worth mention that I’ve found this last week are loads of these and Dalquestia formosa I am trying to get CB if they will breed for me 🤞

I haven’t collected any to keep yet, but I think I’m going to this week. I actually have never kept any scorpions for some reason

Hahaha I specifically get an amazing Opiliones. The Dalquestia formosa is gorgeous and hopefully and can produce them CB and introduce them to the hobby.

what do they eat? I think ours are the type that you'd need to have rotting plant matter and dead insects as a food source making them unpleasant to keep, hopefully yours are mainly predacious

No they shoykd eat about the same I gave them some veggies and some dried shrimp and I’m going to get some fish flakes today. I’m hoping that will work. They’re kinda like isopods. And I have them set up kinda like Armadillidium

That’s what was recommended to me to do and I witnessed an individual eating some off of some purple sweet potato so it looks like that is okay. And I might be able to see if they’ll feed off some more decomposing compost I have in a 5gal bucked if it needs to be more decomposed.

I wanna figure it out before I think about selling them if they produce CB.
