Abedus sp.

[Deroplatys]

Got some of these the other, really wanted some exotic aquatic bugs after keeping some native water scorpions a while back, these can breed well in captivity which is also great
Cant wait for them to get bigger

Nice! These guys seem to be really fun, I would really like some sometime. I hope they breed for you!

Do you know what kind of Abedus they are? Abedus herberti etc

Thanks, i think they might be A.herberti, but the seller just said they were Abedus sp., and the first two moulted yesterday

I heart freshwater invert predators. It surprises me that their isn't greater interest in them. Abedus remind me of a roach nymph that's gone mutant renegade, given up the humble life of a colonist and taken to the water because there just isn't enough 'action' in on land anymore. The fresh molt shot is neat.

True to life, I find this to be one of my most tasteless videos. Here's one playing "mutant renegade" rodeo:
