Yes. I was a bad camera man because I was trying to look and film at the same time.
That beetle was very bright.

I'm going back to that same tree as soon as it warms up.

Nice vids:) That beetle is a tiger, Cincidela of some sort. They make great macro subjects if you can get them to hold still.

What sort of weather/time of year do you go bug huntin in? I'm still trying to figure out the best time/weather for it here.

Edit: Oh, and thanks for the T encouragement, 3skulls.

I pretty much go when ever it's warm enough.
The place I work sits in the middle of a wooded area on lots of land. To tell you the truth, 80% of the bugs I keep find me. They are very easy to spot when they are inside the building :p

I'm always on the look out for snakes, frogs, toads, bugs etc.

I'm on the top floor of my apartment, so I don't get any bugs outside of the occasional roach :( Some of my first floor neighbors complain about all the spiders they get and I'm secretly envious lol

Haha.

I had a bold jumper living in my snake room for a while. Haven't seen him in a few weeks :(

Have you found much info on how to identify species? I guess it's hard to get an exact ID without checking the gonopods on a dead specimen.

Not really.
I wish I could find more info on them.

I'm not good at IDing :eek:

Nothing real exciting. I threw in a very small chunk of cucumber. They don't seem to care for it much.

You can make out 2 here. Very small.

Another one about 3" into the substrate.

How big are they? Like half an inch?

Mine ignore cucumber too for some reason. Once it's melon season I'm gonna try that.

I look forward to the day my pede numbers are high enough that there's ALWAYS someone out and about to watch. So impatient for my plings to grow and my Thai rainbow to go lay her eggs.

My "big" girl is in with the babies. I get excited when I see her :p

I also have 1 little one that's black while the others are that lighter color.

I think I'm going to order some soon :)

Whoa that guy's so much more flexible than the big pedes I'm used to seeing! Almost wormlike in the way it moves.
