Cariblatta lutea Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Does anyone have a care info on this species? I caught an adult female couple of weeks ago and it dropped loads of eggs in the enclosure. What should I do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Once the eggs hatch I would try offering them a variety of millipede species and see which kind they like best. I don't think they care if they're prey is larger than they are. Very interesting creatures. They sure take insect gender roles to the extreme, don't they?

Hisserdude Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yep I agree with S.S.S, and you should probably try baby millipeds as well. Hope you can breed them, they seem like a really cool species! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input Looks like i'll be buying couple of "each to rear" millie species soon. LOL Sexual dimorphism in this species is really outstanding! A friend of mine once found a male Phengodes in his tent when he was camping in Torreya state park, and he was surprised to find out that it was a same species of beetle as the Phengodes female I brought with me on the camp (to attract males).

Hisserdude Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Awesome! Cool how they all team up against that giant millipede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Neat! Shouldn't this technically be under "beetles", though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I lost them all when I caught flu and was unable to get millipedes for them for a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
