Hey guys,
I've got a kind of decomposition terrarium populated with feather millipedes (B. lecontii), oyster mushroom mycelium, some springtails, and rove beetles (Dalotia "Atheta" coriaria) which were supposed to eat the fungus gnat larvae, but now I've just got a lot of rove beetles AND a lot of fungus gnats. I want to add some isopods at some point as well.
The fungus gnats really annoy me, I hate seeing them fly and sprint quickly and erratically in what's supposed to be a very chill thing for me to observe.
What can I add that will prey on the fungus gnats but won't eat isopods and small myriopods? I was thinking of an ornate harvestman or something, but I want to know for sure how thay foodchain would work out.
Thanks!
