What's your favorite insect to keep?

[Tarantuloid]

Even though some of my friends find them either boring or horrifying, I love my D. Lobata praying mantises. xD

 

[beetleman]

what else???????? predatory beetles ofcourse

 

[ReignofInvertebrates]

Assassin bugs are a favorite of mine, but i don't have any right now. Predatory beetles would come in second. I usually keep Cicindela Patruela, Cicindela Formosa, Brachinus Sp, Pterostichus Rostratus, and Chlaenius Aestivus.

Platymeris biguttata- white spot assassin.

Hmmm... it's been a while since I've kept one as praying mantises are hard to find where I live, but one of those. It's amazing to watch them hunting.

Social wasps and mantids are my favorite.

I want to try assassin bugs in the future but with them being illegal that does not seem like a possibility.

Crickets and roaches are my favorite!!!
Roaches are cool , they can be trained.
Crickets breed fast.

Assassins arent illegal. Or do you mean in your state?

Indeed it is!

Be forewarned if you want to try raising them:

They are VERY messy eating machines and will put a dent in your wallet to keep them fed! LOL

Beetles as a whole. Tenebrionids are always fun, but I like my scarabs and cicindelids as well
