🕷 Invertebrate Enthusiasts 🕷

[emjayy]

I got 5 Thorny Devil stick insect babies. I cannot wait to watch these moult and grow, they're only about 4cm long now!

[:3c]

Yay, finally a thread for invertebrate enthusiasts! I would love to own millipedes, tarantulas, and gals but unfortunately where I live prohibits you from importing most of these species. Oh well, maybe one day..

I moved my feeder crickets to a bigger tub and a bunch of them got out during the move, so now I've had to get up every 5 minutes to catch a rogue cricket, RIP me x.x

i'm so damn happy that there's an invertebrate topic!! it's been a while since i've posted
on chicken smoothie and heck yeah this is awesome. i really love arachnids, specifically
tarantulas or jumping spiders. i would also love to own an aphonopelma chelcodes (arizona
blonde). i'm in LOVE with their colorations!! but unfortunately, i cannot obtain a tarantula
since my mom has a slight fear of spiders. ):

i've never obtained an invertebrate of any kind before, but i'm going to attend some kind of
expo where they do have booths for arachnids or even a zoo or whatever so i could handle
one.

Oh neat, I didn't know there was a thread for invertebrates! I'm just gonna pop in here and leave this absolutely adorable little bean here:

This precious lil dude is called a rubber ducky isopod. They were apparently very recently discovered sometime last year. I love them. ;u;
Currently doing some research on them. I've found some websites that have them for sale, so hopefully sometime next year I can snag a few before they're sold out again. c':

OH THIS IS A GOOD THREAD
im an entomology minor so ive WORKED with all sorts of species before but i currently only have a colony of blue death feigning beetles and a sonoran desert millipede. i keep super worms, mealworms & dubia for feeders. i probably won't get more than that because im focusing a lot of my time to successfully figure out an easy way to get bdfb to breed in captivity.

i REALLY love any species in coleoptera but i especially love desert beetles.

some kids!

You kids are beautiful and I love your beetles!! You could email some of the people mentioned [here] and ask how they managed to get their BDFBs to breed ^^

Also, here's a somewhat recent pic of my baby. They're in premolt right now, so hopefully I'll be able to seх them soon ;v;

Aaaaa they're so perfect ❤️ Do you have a microscope for sexing or? Hope it's female! I haven't sexed my G.pulchra yet but everyone else is saying female 🤷🏼‍♀️

[hapalopus]

Thank you!! I don't have a microscope but I'm sure I can borrow one at my university. I already have one of Trick's old molts, but it's too fragile and the abdomen/pedicel is all crumbled up :P
G. pulchra is one of my dream species! I hope yours turns out to be female <33

Speaking of dream species, I was looking at huntsmen and wandering spiders today and there are some really beautiful ones out there, like

Heteropoda lunula


Heteropoda boiei


Cupiennius salei

[emjayy]

Aaa okay good luck and thank you ❤️

God that first huntsman, I'm in love. We actually kept 30 Piloctenus haematostoma im our lab to have a look at their venom! They're not as beautiful as the tiger boy but they have a serious attitude!! I feel lucky just being able to look at them in person.
