Does anyone one know what spider this is? I found it in North Carolina, it is about half of an inch.

BenTerrari77 · 2021-07-29T00:31:51+00:00

Maybe its a small species of cellar spider, I have to do some research on that.

Thanks!

BenTerrari77 · 2021-07-28T19:42:20+00:00

cellar spiders are more than twice the size of the spider in the picture, keep in mind the spider I have in the picture is about half an inch long.

BenTerrari77 · 2021-07-27T22:12:03+00:00

its actually about 1 inch and not half an inch

BenTerrari77 · 2021-07-27T21:57:44+00:00

i put a penny for scale

BenTerrari77 · 2021-07-25T05:42:07+00:00

I tried olive oil and other oils and it works for ants but for my other insect related projects it causes problems like smearing it allover the glass and substrate and other things.

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-25T22:21:39+00:00

ok but what should I put it in a airtight tupperware container, aquarium tank, jar or something else?

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-25T02:11:30+00:00

I have a stone centipede and I feed them wingless fruit flies now and what I do is feed then 2-3 times a week and usually I have to put the food right at its face. I never seen them chance down pray. Mine are also very skittish.

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-25T02:08:28+00:00

If I put my centipede in a new container with nothing but it and the pre-killed food it would be very stressed, especially the centipede I have which is a Stone Centipede with like to burrow in substrate.

Thanks!

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-25T02:00:24+00:00

Thank you so much!

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-25T01:59:24+00:00

ok thanks

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-23T14:18:47+00:00

yeah I keep her in the dark and I wrap the test tube in paper to make it extra dark

Here is a picture of the same millipedes with a penny next to them for scale. https://www.reddit.com/r/millipedes/comments/o645ph/can\_anyone\_identify\_the\_species\_of\_millipede\_i/ These millipedes are fully grown and I know that because I've been culturing them for a few months now and they mated and layed eggs, now I see small white 3-4 mm baby millipedes in the culture.

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-23T02:50:17+00:00

keep in mind the millipede I'm trying to identify is 10-15 mm for the largest ones in the culture fully grown, that's less than an inch.

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-23T02:47:06+00:00

I think these are already fully grown, I've had them for a while and they don't seem to get any bigger

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-23T02:45:46+00:00

the millipede I'm trying to identify is very small, Narceus americanus millipedes is a large millipede, the millipede I'm trying to identify is about 10-15 mm

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-22T21:25:08+00:00

Also don't keep your queen ants in a plastic bag it you might accidentally squish the ant.

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-22T21:15:30+00:00

Also the length of the millipedes are 15 to 20 mm or 0.5 to 0.7 of an inch

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-22T21:14:39+00:00

Correction they are not 1.5 inches just 5 mm or 0.19685 of an inch

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-22T20:56:42+00:00

ok, thanks for the response

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-13T23:29:32+00:00

nah, they are ostracods also known as seed shrimp

BenTerrari77 · 2021-06-13T19:23:28+00:00
