If you have lobsters, why would you need to feed it orange heads?

If possible, putting all of your insect enclosures on a table and putting the table's legs in bowls of water will keep all ants away. It's not really practical long term but will keep your collection safe until you solve the problem.

No. Wolf spider babies actually ride on their mother's back for a while after hatching. Some species can live several years.

Nah, you'd know if he got eaten by a fungus. An adult male dying is nothing to worry about.

You're overthinking roach feeding. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt that stuff has enough protein for a stale diet. Just give them oats and dogfood and stuff like that for protein and throw in fruits, veggies, dead leaves etc.

Kind of like if you took a female pennsylvanica or divisa and turned the colors and patterns up

Could they be a variety of P. surinamensis?

Well, if they're eating all the food you'll probably want to try and get rid of some of them. Perhaps, since lobster roaches climb and lesser mealworms to the best of my knowledge do not, you could put the food in a smooth sided bowl? Or, alternately, you could make a trap that roaches can climb out of but the mealworms can't.

No, don't make the substrate soggy. Misting them once a day should be more than enough. If it's too moist you're asking for pests and other problems.

More protein= more growth.

You should do one with just various Porcellio species! Like P. expansus, orange P. scaber, P. haasi etc.

Yup, that's what happens when you keep them undercrowded and feed them well

Mealworms do

Look more like Japanese grubs. Could be oriental beetles too.

Not true, at least for some insects: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2425089?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

P. scaber. Breeds fast, tolerant of some dryness

He lasted a few weeks? Any pics?

How dry is it?

Yup, baby isopods are adorable. I started a gecko vivarium back in december. Since the P. scaber I added to it were collected in winter, none of them had babies developing. So just recently the females all at once started developing eggs and giving birth and it's absolutely swarming with hundreds of tiny white babies

Bleach washes clean and quickly evaporates leaving only relatively harmless salts. Just bleach, rinse, let it sit for a day then rinse it again to get rid of the salt.

Sounds like you're all set then! Oh, and the tank should be covered, obviously.

Put some yeast, oatmeal or other food on the piece of bark.

Ok, this is what you do: 1. Go to a healthy pond or swamp, ideally with lots of vegetation and an open area next to it. 2. Set up a big white sheet and a bright (preferably ultraviolet) light hung from a rope between two trees. Lay another sheet on the ground. 3. Wait until nightfall. Watch as dozens of aquatic insects fly to the sheet. Don't get bitten by a giant water bug. 4. Collect as many Cybister, Dytiscus, Acilius, Thermonectus and other large predaceous diving beetles as you can. Bring them home. 5. Plop them in the tank, and watch them devour the guppies. Once they have run out of guppies, you can feed them basically any kind of flesh including pieces of raw fish, shrimp and chicken as well as live or dead insects such as roaches. If they have enough food cannibalism should be minimal. 6. You now have a tankful of large, active, voracious and above all unusual aquatic insect pets! Since they're pond- dwelling air breathers, they couldn't care less about water quality so tank cleaning is mostly a cosmetic concern.

Looks like a dubia

Oops, my bad lol.
