Here are a couple pictures of one of the babies:
And if that wasn't good enough, I just found my first Capucina patula babies a few weeks back as well! 🥳 That species seems to have smaller broods in the range of 8-12 per litter, with offspring slightly proportionally larger than those of Schizopilia. Now I'm just waiting on my Phortioeca to give birth, and I'll have bred all of the Zetborinae in the US hobby! 😄
On one of the trips I made to Seattle last year, I collected some Porcellio scaber from Schmitz Preserve Park on a whim, since I didn't have P.scaber in my collection at the time, and figured grabbing some wild type stock with locality data couldn't hurt.
They've obviously done just fine for me (would be embarrassing to fail with scaber), and I snapped some pictures of them the other day:
So yeah, if anyone wants locality data, wild type scaber, feel free to check out my For Sale page. 😛
In an exciting development, those Pseudoglomeris semisulcata females I obtained actually were mature, and at least two of them were mated, because they have given birth to two big litters of nymphs! 🤩
I've been keeping them at around 70-75F° and they've been doing fine. At least one of the two other females look quite plump, so I'm very hopeful they will produce litters as well!
Lastly, I finally had an Arenivaga sp. "Mescalaro Dunes" male mature out, and snapped some photos of him.
Very hirsute for Arenivaga. This species is probably undescribed IMO, and has shown a clear preference for sand based substrates. I've got several adult pairs now, so I'm hoping they'll breed well for me, and we can get these well established in culture!
That does it for today's updates, thanks for reading, hope everyone enjoyed, and I'll see you all next time! 😉
