This absolute stunner arrived a little earlier. Pamphobeteus sp Costa. Quick pics as I wanted to grab some but didn't want to stress her out.


Hopefully I'll get some better ones once she's settled.

Nice :) What type of fly is that? Do you culture them yourself and are they flightless?

I'm always looking for new feeders that don't reek and stink up my office like crickets. (And cockroaches are outlawed in Canada)

Blue bottle flies. They can't fly freshly hatched, plus they'd been in the fridge. I buy them as casters, keep them in the fridge and take out a handful at a time to hatch.

I've had these quite a few weeks now so they've started to hatch in the fridge.

WOW! What size is she at the moment?
9cm leg span. So small. For some reason though she just looks big to me when I see her on screen. I think when my Pamphobeteus antinous sheds again she'll be the same size.

Aye. I think it's because she's so well proportioned. My Pamphobeteus antinous is a good size compared to when I got her but is still very, very leggy.

Beautiful T! I had this, cf. antinous and Santo Domingo "klein/small" as my options. Went for antinous instead because black! :happy:
