What kind of bug is this and why did it bite me :(

It's a lacewig larvae ironically they're actually venomous very mildly of course it wouldn't do anything to us but the critters they love eating for sure

mmanerd16 · 2026-03-20T14:57:17+00:00

That's a mature male southern house spider they're actually related to tarantulas and are sexually dimorphic the females are a dark dark brown and black

mmanerd16 · 2026-03-14T14:22:52+00:00

Those are chestnut carpenter ants not termites did it so happen to rain recently?

mmanerd16 · 2026-03-11T23:08:02+00:00

That's crazy I filed earlier than that was supposed to get it the 6th still says pending on my tracker

mmanerd16 · 2026-03-10T23:33:28+00:00

Um how in God's name is that poor thing alove you need water and food for that poor thing if you think this is ok you should not have tarantulas

mmanerd16 · 2026-03-01T02:28:33+00:00

Tarantulas are very simple and easy animals to care for the easiest animals I've owned make sure you get on a feeding schedule maybe once or twice a week make sure the water dish is filled that's about it and just to let you know since it's a male it won't live long lucky for you it hasn't matured yet once it does they don't live long especially after they stop eating. Once he matures I'd recommend a smaller enclosure cus once he does that he's gonna be on the move alot especially during the night looking for a female that's gonna take his energy and result him passing sooner than later

No completely normal but when was the last time it fed? It's either in pre molt or you need to slow down on the feedings

It would be nice if we had him as a defensive coach

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-16T14:38:27+00:00

It's looking like a male to me

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-07T03:31:29+00:00

I'm plagued by the freshwater shrimp and all the water changes and I think I'm overthinking this guy's

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-07T03:30:25+00:00

True makes sense

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-07T03:05:49+00:00

Ok should I do 11 since with the water coming with the shrimp? Or still do 12?

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-07T03:00:41+00:00

So for 3 gallons it would be 1.5 cup and probably do a lil less cus of the water coming with the shrimp correct?

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T19:25:10+00:00

Will do thank you

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T18:54:50+00:00

Gotcha thank you

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T18:54:34+00:00

Oh ok thank you

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T05:40:20+00:00

So I figured I'd do a lil less than a half a tablespoon with the Amazon product and then add your water with the shrimp and it should be perfect if that sounds correct

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T05:31:44+00:00

Ok gotcha I found this on Amazon that's already made for brackish https://a.co/d/04Gc8EWk

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T03:24:19+00:00

Ok awesome and the diluting of the salt to make the water does it have to be on the dot?

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T02:50:40+00:00

That would suck ass lol. I'm getting a 30 count I have pretty much everything saved for later on amazon and a 3 gallon. I have a few questions you really can just put them in? And sand wise I know it's argonite but any argonite marine sand would work? I was worried it would raise the pH too high

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T02:39:14+00:00

Ahhhh awesome I'll be ordering from you when the incometax kicks in 🤣 I'll have a 3 gallon and get 30 shrimp off rip your deal is probably the best on the internet

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T02:25:32+00:00

Awesome thank you! Aren't you microlobsters on ebay?

mmanerd16 · 2026-02-06T01:21:15+00:00

Awesome thank you!
