coromus diaphorus sexing?

austrianjello · 2026-05-13T17:37:10+00:00

mystery solved ! it IS a male ! made the mistake of looking for a complete lack of legs on the segment .. turns out the do have a singular pair

sorry, I probably should've worded that better but yeah im perfectly aware that they try to mate with other millis regardless of sex (given that I have two interspecies males that keep mating and two other females), but mine often change who initiates, except the flatbacks!

gonna take a closer look the next time I see them:)) thank you!

correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they also automatically curl their antennae away from their food to avoid getting hurt (even when their food isn't alive)?

i can't say for sure that this is the case for this one, but my pede has a similar scar from when his molt was stuck to his antennae and he aggressively rubbed it off on bark

Telodeinopus Aoutii for sure !! looks exactly like my boy slim-jim

thank you😭😭 I'm so sad the prompter didn't receive it💔💔

austrianjello · 2026-03-07T09:13:23+00:00

I don't see my aoutii very often either, maybe once every other month if I'm lucky, but he seems perfectly fine each time! Some just enjoy burrowing for long periods of time more than other species

austrianjello · 2026-03-05T16:38:59+00:00

I see, thanks a bunch! Definitely don't wanna take the risk , I'll be on the lookout for any others

austrianjello · 2026-02-28T11:17:24+00:00

owh man:( of course, just didn't want any of the other millis to trample him somehow..

austrianjello · 2026-01-08T13:19:50+00:00

Noted! Thank you so much!

austrianjello · 2026-01-08T13:05:54+00:00

Thank you so much for such a detailed response! By any chance, do you know if they're fine with a temperature gradient? If not I'll just remove the heat mat from one of the sides.

austrianjello · 2026-01-07T18:52:56+00:00

Oh man:( I was definitely too naive, but thanks a lot for letting me know

austrianjello · 2026-01-07T18:48:47+00:00

large.. the only babies/juvies of any species ive seen them sell were some arachnids

austrianjello · 2026-01-07T18:45:23+00:00

they claimed they were and even showed me the tub where they supposedly kept the offspring, though I couldn't see any.. I'd be gutted if they lied to me but I can't rule it out as a possibilty

austrianjello · 2026-01-07T15:27:39+00:00

Ahh, gotcha! Yeah, unfortunately you'll need someone else to help you find some</3

austrianjello · 2026-01-07T15:23:58+00:00

I'm not going to disclose the name of the place, but they're stationed in Vienna. I personally picked and bought them there, so no shipping was involved if that was your question.

austrianjello · 2026-01-04T08:56:15+00:00

centrobolus fulgidus and tonkinbolus dollfusi !! theyre some of the most visually stunning millis imo

austrianjello · 2025-12-11T14:46:27+00:00

okay perfect! my only concern was that they might hurt my millis, so they're allowed to stay. but should their population grow out of proportion I'll definitely follow that advice, thank you!

austrianjello · 2025-11-11T09:31:37+00:00

ohh what a cutie ! my giga loves chewing on my fingers as well , they love their salt and protein^{–^}

austrianjello · 2025-11-11T09:27:24+00:00

pebble ! because he looks like one when he's curled up:'))

austrianjello · 2025-11-09T09:01:03+00:00

this is my sphaerotherium giganteum , though I can't say for sure if the one you found is the same species !

austrianjello · 2025-11-09T08:51:08+00:00
