I feel ya, we've got 3 and you need a microscope to see them, it's crazy. I can't wait until they molt a couple times and at least become visible. One of the Canadian members had a hatchout recently and he said that it was like separating an ant colony.

Aw yeah I love when they're itty bitty... my Cyriocosmus perezmilesi was that itty bitty when I got it, it's now finally bigger and showing color.

This was a pic taken even after a molt or two, and I don't exactly have a large index finger either, lol:

Aww, so tiny! Watching them take down prey at that size must be awesome!

My trinidad dwarf is as small as a piece of peat moss substrate. Lives in a vial about 1 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide. Kim

And I thought my H. mac was small!! Makes me think twice about getting one...I'd be terrified of losing it!!!

How do you sufficiently ventilate something that small?
