Its hell being obsessed, eats up all your cash and free time.
Morph, keep me updated on the beetles breeding, you know who to call to sell the larvae

Awesome, do you have a scientific name for him? I'm very interested in them.

Virginia Cheeseman's got some at the moment according to her website, although it looks as if those have orange knees.

Yeah males at sub adult go slightly orangy, then when they turn adult they have different colouration, bright red body with black legs, females sometimes also have an orange tinge aswell, but the majority of the time they stay the same

Looks like it's plotting to rule the world.

I don't know why I never commented on these pictures before, but I will now. They are incredible! I wish I could have a collection like yours. Right now, I only have a tailless whip scorpion (Damon variegatus).
