This will be a thread to document progress with attempting to culture and introduce the species, of Opiliones, Dalquestia formosa.
I attempted to culture these back in January and was not successful, but I am attempting it again since May 31st.
1st attempt- photo from 1/11/22
Collecting them on 5/31/22
Second attempt and housed same day in a 6qt Sterile tub.
I don’t recall the exact count ~ ±10 individuals total mostly adult, as of yesterday a little over 2 weeks later all individuals are still alive and eating well and breeding behavior visualized.
Here’s to hoping I can get past F2 to CB F3 with them this go round and get CB ‘Oplings’
out to people!
