The only thing about those two species is that arthropod eggs are a favorite food for them as well. I had some ground beetles that laid some eggs with those species inside, and next thing you know I see them swarming over the egg cluster.

Speaking of smelly things, anybody want some Uca minax? I have 3, and they're smelling so bad due to the sand, I cant even go near the enclosure. I'm considering even driving out to their native habitat and releasing them!

I'll take em. Always loved crabs, especially with butter.
