Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Assassins bugs creep me out.almost like a phobia... Where can I get some to get over my fear of them? Any care tips? Breeding tips? Double Ds have some Platymeris available right now. Otherwise, you'll have to get them from people online. Care and breeding can vary a lot depending on species so you have to be specific about which species you plan on getting.

pannaking22 109 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 What sort of humidity and ventilation requirements do these guys have? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 What sort of humidity and ventilation requirements do these guys have? They must be kept at dry environment as adults are prone to wing rot and death if kept humid. Seems that they absorb all the moistures they need from their preys.

Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Wow, they are still nymphs!? Well still cool nonetheless, nice to this generation is doing well. Yep. They've been growing slowly over the past few months probably due to cold weather. Hopefully they'll mature soon since the weather is getting warmer now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Had some adults emerge lately 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lovebugfarm 65 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Those guys are so excellent. I only have 2 colonys of assassins but they are by far my favorite predators. Im glad they are doing well for you hopefully these will be more available in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pannaking22 109 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 You keep them in pairs in each vial when they're young? Or am I just seeing molts in a couple of the vials? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those should be molt since I move all my adults into bigger enclosure for pairing once they mature 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 3rd generation produced some oddities; two melanistic males! Here's a pic of one For some reason its offsprings took around 6+ months to hatch. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Salmonsaladsandwich 16 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 The melanistic individuals are neat. Funny how some pictures on google show adults that lack the red stripes on their hind femora, yet that one has them despite everything else being black. Do you keep all the adults communally? Do they cluster together on bark and other surfaces like Platymeris? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
