Looking for just some general desert species suggestions

[cascadingplates]

Looking into getting some desert species together to make a naturalistic communal setup in a large dry desert tank. I have some blue death feigning beetles I was gonna add but wanted to see what other desert species might be good to mix in aside from beetles and velvet ants. I’ve seen stuff about desert mantises but I’m not sure if they’d do well with blue death feigning beetles or not. Any suggestions are appreciated from small reptiles to insects to really anything

I think just about any darkling beetle can be kept communally, and I believe (might double check) they all do well with a Smeringurus mesaensis. I know that BFDB and Dune scorpion have almost a symbiotic relationship.

Interested in what you decide to do with this setup
