  1. Well... I didn't know Ligia pallasi, thanks for the information... In Italy small pill millipede are really common... I often meet them during my "bug safari" at night...
  2. The biggest terrestrial species is Ligia oceanica... it lives near the sea in North Europe...
  3. I started to use a motorbike teflon-based lubricant (Arexxon's Chain Wax) more than one year ago... it seems to work fine and doesn't drip down... It doesn't work well with species like Panchlora nivea and Drymaplaneta's babies...
  4. Are you talking about something like that? Isopod (Oniscus sp.) or like this one? Pill millipede (Glomeris sp.)
  5. Eurycotis opaca They look very similar to Drymaplaneta semivitta, but really bigger... Hemiblabera sp. I had them from a friend of mine, that bought them from Jörg Bernhardt www.schaben-spinnen.de
  6. Just let me the time to take the pictures... I bought Eurycotis on Sunday, at the NIRM (North Italia Reptile Market)... I'll do it ASAP...
  7. Updating my culture list.... African Bullet Roach Archimandrita tessellata Blaberus giganteus Blaberus sp. "Bolivia" Blaberus atropos Blaberus fusca Blaberus craniifer "Black wings"" Blaberus craniifer "European hybrid" Blaberus craniifer "Brown wings" Blaberus discoidales Blaptica dubia Blatta lateralis (ex Shelfordella tartara) Blatta orientalis Byrsotria fumigata Deropeltis sp "Mombasa" Deropeltis paulinoi Diploptera punctata Drymaplaneta semivitta Eublaberus distanti Eublaberus posticus Elliptorhina chopardi Eurycotis opaca Gromphadorhina grandidieri Gromphadorhina oblongata Gromphadorhina portentosa Gromphadorhina portentosa "giant morph" Hemiblabera sp. Loboptera decipiens Lucihormetica subcincta Macropanesthia rhinoceros Nauphoeta cinerea Neostylopyga rhombifolia Opisthioplathia orientalis Oxyhaloa deusta Phaetalia pallidus Panchlora nivea Panchlora nivea "big" Periplaneta americana Polyphaga saussurei Pycnoscelus surinamensis Rypharobia maderae Rypharobia maderae "Goldi" Schultesia lampyridiformis Supella longipalpa Symploce pallens Therea petiveriana Now they're 46 different species...
  8. Slow reproduction? They breed like rabbits...
  9. It may belong to Family Lygeidae , or Myridae, or closely related...
  10. In my town, Milano, pest species are very common... During the summer Blattella germanica always try to enter in my home by the windows, walking on external walls... but, as you can guess (I'm a PCO) they have wrong address.... When I walk my dog at night I always meet Blatta orientalis on sidewalks all around the house... The most common species is Blattella germanica, followed by Blatta orientalis and, last but not least, Supella longipalpa... But, considering I'm a pest control operator, "a roach a day keeps misery away"...
  11. Coleoptera Meloidae.... Meloe sp. This is Meloe proscarabeus This one is in thanathosis Larvae on flower, waiting for a bee Sure it's related to spanish fly (Lytta vesicatoria)... they belong from the same family: Meloidae Lytta vesicatoria
  12. It may be a Damon sp. A whip spider (amblypygio), not a whip scorpion (uropygio)
  13. The italian common name of Scutigera coleoptrata is "Madama Fortuna" (Mrs. Luck)
  14. Besides my roaches.... A pair of cinchilla a family of 6 degu 1 Adult Male iguana (5') 1 adult axolotl 1 adult male Lithoria caerulea 3 Chalcides ocellatus 7 species of millipede 4 Alipes grandidieri baby (tanzanian feather legged centipede) 3 whip spiders 2 whip scorpions about 25-30 stick insect species and my son has a couple of Lamprophis fuliginosus (Brown House Snake) I forgot my dog and a pregnant cat
  15. No... they're really bigger than G.portentosa, and they don't (didn't) hiss so frequently...
  16. No... don't be jealous... I had only one male and two females... now I've only a female, but i forgot to delete the species from the list... they didn't reproduce...
  17. I guess Rockbrats are Thysanura, Family Machilidae (Jumping Bristletails?)... I often meet them during the night in my bug-huntings... I'm happily breeding silverfishes... I built my starting colony catching them one by one, on the wall in front of my home, at night, walking my dog.... Here are some pictures...
  18. I've often seen a similar behaviour in Schultesia lampyridiformis and Nauphoeta cinerea, and sometimes in Rhypharobia maderae "golden" too... But I don't know the reason...
  19. I had more than a runaway of pallids from the cage... but they never infested my home...
  20. Climbing species have on tarsus a hairy structure called "pulvillo" (I don't know the english word.... sorry) that permits to cling to every kind of surface... exactly like little hooks under gecko's feet do...
  21. Actually I'm using a teflon lubricant for motorbikes, made by Arexxon's, called "chain wax"... it's cheaper than bugstop and seems to work well....
  22. May be it's caused by a bad position of the roach during the wings drying...
