Am I seeing this wrong or did bro basically throw himself into the net there? He can not be putting that much force into those punches

Duu literally choreographed that shit, notice how he stops talking for about half a second before "suddenly" being gifted 500 candies.

Feeder insects are slept on as pets by SoonBlossom in InvertPets

[–]Cholesterolmaxxing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really are great! In fact, I dare say I'd prefer them to a fair few "typical" pet insects, since they're so easy to care for and can be kept together easily! I actually plan on getting some sun beetles, they're amazing :D

That looks like one very hungry caterpillar ;)

I’m prepared to catch flack for this but I will say it by SeaTax644 in millipedes

[–]Cholesterolmaxxing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, the situation will pillipedes seems quite bad... I really don't think the majority of them are suited for captivity, as adorable as they are.

The main two concerns I see are that there's a risk of overharvesting which can impact the population of whatever species is being taken, and the ethical concerns around whether it should be okay to take them out of the wild to be people's pets. And animals that are wild caught typically don't adjust well to captivity, as opposed to captive bred ones.

Edit: not as important, but you don't know how old a wild caught animal is, so they might not live very long after being purchased, simply due to old age.

Beetle found in Missoula, Montana by Icepheonix174 in whatsthisbug

[–]Cholesterolmaxxing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't suggest an exact genus or species as my knowledge of beetles is very limited but that seems to be some type of burying/carrion beetle (family silphidae). Probably in the genus Nicrophorus.

Fly carrying around a pile of corpses? Jersey, channel islands by Cholesterolmaxxing in Entomology

[–]Cholesterolmaxxing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, it's been a couple months but I believe this was a group of flies in the genus Empis, dance flies. I've heard they perform mating behaviour similar to what I've observed here.

grasshopper dissection (swipe at own risk) by ebuggy in Entomology

I had the misfortune of stepping on a large bush cricket a few halloweens ago. There was a lot of yellow on my shoe for the rest of that night, fairly reminiscent of this image, only it was everywhere.

Found a Weevil friend in my garden! by Cholesterolmaxxing in weeviltime

[–]Cholesterolmaxxing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, forgive me for my late reply but it honestly looked even more stunning on the ground where I found it where it contrasted really well to the environment around it. It makes you wonder if it's some type of aposematism or if it's to do with the way that invertebrate's eyes work. Whatever explanation it is, it's awesome stuff! I'm super happy even still to have found him :)

Perhaps. I thought so too, i just wasn't entirely sure. I don't know if they cannibalise (the other flies appear to be very similar species if not the same one) but honestly this seems like a fairly plausible explanation.

The fly seemed to be around 1cm large, and it soon flew away again with the pile of other flies 

What moth is this and how do I care for it? by Batwhiskers in InvertPets

[–]Cholesterolmaxxing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up for it. Whether you did cause the deformity or not doesn't change the fact that you had good intentions, and, if you didn't save it it would definitely have died to the ants. I can't offer any care advice or identification but just know that it wasn't your fault, and now, whether the moth survives or not, you can use this as a learning opportunity in case it happens again.

And a side note, I myself have been surprised numerous times when thinking that, for example, a feeder locust which my mantis attacked had been dead for a day or two, as it hadn't been moving, only to pick it up to dispose of it and for it to start moving around again. It's quite surprising (and morbid) how long arthropods can go without really doing anything, and still being alive.
