My juvie wheel bug ate!

[lunashimmer]

SInce I found the juvenile wheelbug and captured it for observation, I tried feeding it mealworms which were a no-go. I dropped a crick in there with him last night and when I got home from work today, 1/2 the crick was gone! Cool. And if it's not my imagination, the wheelbug looks like it might have changed colors? Maybe it's going to molt soon.

I like bugs! ('Cept roaches--:barf

I ended up letting the wheelbug go last night. I'd had a cricket in the KK with him for 24 hours, and though he was stalking it, the crick was too wily for him and would jump away each time Wheelie got close. I'm not going to the LPS for more crix until Monday so I figured he'd need something to eat before then. Hopefully he's found some bugs to eat in our front yard!
