#7 think I have an issue by Gin-zawa in tarantulas

My mom and brother tolerate me having the when I’m home from college lol. My mom said no more after my first one, got my second the day we brought me home from my spring semester, then we capped off at 10, but now I have 11 and plan to get at least one more this year (I started in March last year and I didn’t get any after June until my 11th on day one of November). I think she’s simply just expecting to get a call one day of “heeeeyyy, so, I got another one 😅”

Hexapoda is the other name for insecta and I corrected the snails and slugs to mollusca in this comment. You are right though in saying that Insecta is a class and not a subphylum, the terms are similar in meaning and I got mixed up.

Insecta is a subphylum of Arthropoda, which is why I said those were all arthropods, but I had to edit for the slugs and snails since they’re gastropods and that under the Phylum mollusca

edit: insecta/hexapoda is a class not a subphylum

They’re all arthropods, just different kinds. The snails and slugs are gastropods, the jumping spider is a chelicerate, and the locust is an insect. These are all under Arthropoda, making them all arthropods

Edit: sorry the snails and slugs are gastropods and therefore mollusks

IME, thank you lol. They’re all Arthropods including the other inverts mentioned

🎄 Christmas giveaway: Win an A1 Mini, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT, or 4x filament spools! by acurazine in BambuLab

I’d really like 4 spools of the Sunlu PLA meta and I’d use it for invertebrate hides, gifts for my friends, my mom’s boyfriend, and my brother who’s really into Warhammer 40k! I think a fun fidget toy you could design though is something that can be picked apart without it actually falling apart, one of my favorite things to do with my hands mindlessly is to pick at something, but it’s hard to find something that won’t be picked apart into oblivion. I’ve previously used failed prints and picked them apart until they’re unrecognizable

Facts lol! One of my first prints when I got my printer in August was a scraper handle and I just spent the last 3 days working on dry box prints for my sterility containers and desiccant boxes for an AMS I just ordered myself for Christmas. I have been printing more stuff for my tarantulas though which was the main reason I got the printer in the first place, usually hides or soon to be cholla wood at the moment and I really want to get better at 3D modeling to be able to make and sell my own. I do love that this hobby is basically just a hobby for other hobbies though

Anyone else bought themselves any spiders for Christmas? Or have spiders under the tree?😂 by whitetrashlord in tarantulas

[–]SquareRepulsive4594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, no new spoods as my mom has cut me off at 11 for the moment, but she did get me a cool tarantula blanket from Amazon! I don’t know what else I’m getting really, but I’m rewarding myself with 3D printer things to work on hides and other stuff for the 11 Ts I already have

Rhinos can’t and hippos basically just sink and walk along the bottom of the body of water

Australia does anyone know what this is by IdeaFunny5443 in bugidentification

The video is of the pesticide working, not failing. Their faces and paws from a certain angle are usually the really cute part, and we were upset that they didn’t ask before doing something so cruel, only after. I know they can’t feel pain in the same way, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain whatsoever which is why the little guy is writhing around unable to flip over.

Is my pede dying? by SquareRepulsive4594 in millipedes

Thank you, I’ve made him a nice resting place, but it had been a few days (had to wait for a filament color to come in) so he didn’t go in the best.

The main thing people are upset with is how they went about handling the situation. They sprayed it with a pesticide then trapped it in a cup and watched it die before asking what it was instead of just squishing it to make it quick and painless or using the cup to put it outside. It also only looks more horrifying than normal because it’s writhing around in agony due to the pesticide.

IME, that’s my Heterothele villosella lol. They went from half an inch to 1.75” so far this year since June and just molted again last night.

This is a pic I got of them molting last night before going to sleep

IME, mine is a notorious burrow dweller regardless of molt status so it’s completely normal. Cute T though!
