Boy I thought I had found something unique. I flipped over a log and there it was. A P. scaber almost glowing blue/purple in the sun! Then you google it☹️.  They should call it the blue death. 

So I had collected several isopod species. A. nasatum, A. vulgare, P. scaber, P. pruinosis. I placed them in containers with coco fiber, rotten maple wood, dead oak leaves and kept them damp. After a few months everything vanished in all the cultures but the Armadillidium. There are some...

Does anyone have any clue what species this is?

I got some more in the mail today to fulfill my original order. A few of them stouter than the first. Some of them have the thinner fainter bands. Also got two of these guys. Trigoniulus corallinus?

Yes they are very cool. I hope I get to see them every so often.

I have about a dozen bumblebee millipedes coming soon. Do millipedes do better in a smaller or larger enclosure? I know some inverts do better crowded some need space. I currently have an empty 2.5 gallon and a 5.5 gallon to choose from.

So my West African Rubber Frogs have proven hard to feed. When they hop into the feeding dish, the tiny dubia play dead. Because I keep all six of them in a 40 gallon long, I have had to add isopods to help combat fungus gnats. This was a good idea because they seem to be hunting the babies...

Neoholothele incei

Hapalopus sp. "Columbia large". Pumpkin patch

I also have this nice Scolopocrytops sexspinosus 

These are pretty neat little dudes. I found two and a tiny white nymph(?) what is the name of an immature centipede?

I added a few of these to my Fire-bellied Toad tank. Man these are cool. They are constantly swimming. I added three but I just witnessed one being eaten by a toad lol. I will definitely being collecting more from my water garden. It would be nice if they will breed. I will be adding plants that...

So I have been thinking about putting some stuff up for trade. I know roaches do fine through the USPS. What about tararantulas? I have two, possibly 4 different Tarantula I would like to trade for roaches or other inverts. I had to pay overnight shipping 40$ flat fee to get them. 

Well I reached in my hisser tank and scratched my arm on a piece of bark. Within seconds my arm broke out into hives. Now I truely know I am allergic to them. It seemed I have been fighting a lot of allergy symptoms when I got home lately. I am curious as to why hissers cause allergies more than...

I collected a few Euryurus leachii yesterday and had no idea they would glo under a black light! Nice!

So I found this black dude (a little red tint to the abdomen) under a board in my pole barn. I'm assuming it's a nymph since it has no wings? Any guesses?

Anyone know what size mesh is small enough to use for ants?

Ok folks, I have come to the conclusion that my West African Rubber frogs are only interested in eating ants and termites. Out of the six I have only two will sparingly take newborn roach nymphs, pin head crickets or isopods. So out desperation I collected  Tetramorium caespitum to feed them...

Are these (nymph and adults) climbers?

It's a shame these are so high. These are instant vent covers for our roach bins.  https://www.amazon.com/Gear-Aid-Bug-Mesh-Repair/dp/B00MKXCAEY/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1499648481&sr=8-27&keywords=no-see-um+screen
