Psytalla horrida

[Cariblatta lutea]

Supposedly the largest assassin bug available in the hobby. These guys will take down Blaberus easily as seen in pic.

Look at those spikes!

Even nymphs are spiky

Very beautiful! Those are massive, you're brave to be holding those ,I certainly wouldn't......well maybe with very thick gloves or something!

Thanks They are quite docile and probably won't bite unless you grab them (though they might spit venom at you sometimes).

Oh, never would have though that they were handleable.

Ya, those are easy to handle as well as long as you don't physically harm them

Oh geez I didn't realize they were that big... I wouldn't feel comfortable holding that either. I wonder how bites from this and a giant waterbug would rank on the schmidt pain index.
