Last year I got a small group of
Anisolabis maritima from
Satchell Watts-Kerr, from Southern Mobile County, AL. These are some seriously large earwigs, females especially, rivaling
Labidura riparia in length and surpassing them in mass. Adults are completely wingless, and males have very heavily curved forceps. This particular locality is fairly light colored, I've seen pictures of other localities with near black body coloration.
I have them set up in a minimally ventilated 5 gallon gasket bin with several inches of a coco fiber and sand mixture, kept moist. I am feeding them dog food, fish food pellets, and live micro-roaches (they seem to prefer the latter). I'm keeping them at around 75F°.

They've been breeding well, and I finally have enough F2 offspring to start offering these big 'wigs up! 😄
Anyways, that does it for this post, thanks for reading, hope everyone enjoyed, and I'll see you all next time! 😉
