Urban Hawaii

[TheDarkInfinity]

Went for a walk around my neigborhood. Urban Hawaii at its finest...

The area I was looking

Nesticodes Rufipes

S. s. subspinipes

Unknown snail...

Unknown spider... I apologize for the low quality on the photo. Anyone got an idea?

the last one looks like a Dysderia croacata (spelling?) also called the woodlouse spider or the pillbug eating spider

I'm jealous beyond belief. I used to live there; I miss it so much!

Those snails are all over the place after it rains.

Big snails would make such cool pets I think.

 

[TheDarkInfinity]

Yea it gets kinda hard to ride my bike to work after it rains cause of all the snails!!
Pandinus, that is exactly what it is! Awesome now I know why I always find them with isopods!! Has anyone ever tried to keep one?
xhexdx, Its kinda weird because I have been here for 2.5 years and never really looked for inverts until lately. Never really realized the potenial. But I am outta here in 6 months.
Burmish101, I think it would be fun to have one of those big snails!!

where are the chameleons?

 

[agama]

the snail looks like a tiger snail

 

[TheDarkInfinity]

dtknow, I have only been able to find one Jackson's Chameleon (Chamaeleo Jacksonii) out here. They are uber sneaky and hard to find... at least for me. I also don't really look to much for them, my main prey lately has been looking for Isometrus Maculatus.
Agama, your probably right about the snail, there are literally thousands of them out here.

Here are some new pics from my last trip out
Isometrus Maculatus

loads of scorps to...i don't have any pics but i currently own a tiger snail

 

[TheDarkInfinity]

Yea now that i know where to look for the scorps there is a lot out here, just took me a while to find them!

 

[agama]

under things and near wood right

 

[TheDarkInfinity]

Well, I can only find them where there is a deep layer of leaves 6"+ near the bases of trees or somewhere where there is shade most of the day. I have always found them on rocks under the leaf litter but not under the rocks. If there are ants nearby then no scorps. And there are tons of ants here. They dont seem to have very dense populations where I do find them. Also have to be in a relatively dry area also, lots of rainforest here but I have never found any there.

 

[agama]

when you find one there should be interesting things in thre rainforest

 

[xhexdx]

Are you hunting during the day or night? It might be worth your while to get a black light and hunt at night; you may find many more that way.

I had forgotten what they looked like...I used to find them all the time when I lived there. Thanks for the blast from the past!

You are a very lucky person to get to live there, would be a dream come true to me.

 

[TheDarkInfinity]

xhexdx, I am mostly hunting during the day. I am currently awaiting a new led black light, so I can hunt at night. The day makes it really hard to find those scorps cause they blend in really well. I am on Oahu, south central area.

cjm1991, It is indeed a beautiful place.

What island are you on?

 

[TheDarkInfinity]

I am on Oahu, in the south central part.
