One of the most popular and effective methods of Arenivaga collection has been "fisting" rodent burrows, basically excavating the bottom layer of dusty substrate at the bottom of a rodent burrow's entry and sifting through it to find nymphs and adult females. I've heard this particular species...

Not true, there are Diurnal species like Pseudoglomeris magnifica, Rochaina spp., Eucorydia spp., etc., several of which are pollinators.

I can second @KingCampy as a good bark source! :)

Welcome to the forum! :)

May be a partial prolapse, or part of her ootheca got stuck and dried out before she could retract it. Either way, nothing to be done about it, any attempts to remove the extruded material will certainly harm the female. Best to leave her be and hope the issues resolves itself eventually.

Welcome to the forum!

I love this Rochaina one you sent me! 😁 So cute!

I used to offer them fruits and veg consistently, hence how I noticed they weren't eating much of them.

Lower quality dog food is best since it tends to have more grain content. 👍 Other than that nothing special to note.

Favorite food for both IME has been dog food.

Sometimes they just don't fold their wings properly when molting, and they get stuck that way. Often happens if they're disturbed during the molting process.

Cute! 😄

You and me both. Been wanting these for years, but every attempt I've made to get them has ended in failure. 😭 At this point forget breeding them, I just wanna see a live adult before I die. 🥲

Fingers crossed, I hope they hatch! That's great, so glad to hear it! 😄

It seems this is a highland species that wants temps no higher than 23-25C° for incubating their oothecae. So I think you have them too warm. They are also sensitive to excessive moisture as oothecae, and prefer very high air humidity, but low surface moisture.
