The website is gone. Could you post the journal somewhere, I really want to learn about predatory earwigs. For example, are they communal? What size prey can they take?
Beautiful little beetle
I've been interested in the Neobarrettia genus for a while but no one at the Hamburg reptile show has them. How was your experience with them? Growth rates, aggressiveness, breeding, that sort of thing?
Mine was an adult male, so I can't speak for growth rates or anything like that. Wasn't necessarily aggressive, but it did definitely have an attitude problem. I'm hoping to collect a few this year and get some pairs. It's a genus that really should be more available in the hobby, but I don't think enough is known about them to get them growing and reproducing consistently in the hobby.
I really want D. tityus! I know they live in my area, but I have only ever found one sickly larva.
I've kept P.philipinicum too, funny little creatures. They take ages to hatch though, and mine were quite picky about food. Finding a reasonably quality bramble leaves in februari is...hard. And that is usually when they hatch, at least, mine did.
What are those?
A very fascinating and beautiful member of the stick insect family.
Leaf insects, sort of like Australia's Extatosoma tiaratum but in the form of a leaf and no prickly spines
