I didn't get a good pic, but a dubia male was trying to impress some A. tesselata females last night, lol. The dubia was supposed to be a feeder, but he got too big for my tarantula and I didn't have mantids at the time, so he became a pet.

I've never seen the Polyspilota before. Impressive! I love all of these. The deadleaf is pretty great!

Where did you get all those cool snails?

I bought most of them from breeders and some were WC. Also bred some myself.

H. membranacea, she's the only mantis I have left. D. lobata died during Christmas hugging her food dish, like she wanted one last meal.

I used to keep several species of snails, but then I kind of needed to take a break from all that slime . At the moment the only species I still keep is Pomatias elegans. They are weird and cute, but small and very shy, so I don't have very good photos of them.








I got into roaches about 4 years ago.

I had a small group of Gromphadorhina sp males, now this guy is the only one left:


I keep a small colony of Archimandrita tesselata, this species is my favorite.










I also have a small group of Blaptica dubia males.


I got my first isopods about a year ago. At the moment I have Armadillidium maculatum, Armadillidium sp. "Montenegro", Armadillidium sp, Oniscus asellus, Porcellio scaber, Porcellio scaber "orange", Tricorhina tomentosa and some native species I haven't identified.

Hej! Thanks! Yeah, roaches are fascinating creatures, that's a shame you are allergic to them. Snails are fun but so messy it's a bit annoying
