Thanks, definitely a beautiful species, hopefully I can get a breeding culture established! (gonna take a while though, they grow and breed quite slowly). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlamingSwampert 15 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Where did you get these from? I would really like to get my hands on some myself! Any updates? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 874 Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 @Ty Randall might have some available, if not him then I'm afraid no one else is going to within the US, we're working on establishing this species here right now. 😅 And yes, one of my males matured actually, pictures coming soon! 6 hours ago, FlamingSwampert said: Where did you get these from?

I spread around as many as I could to the top breeders in the USA. Waiting on nymphs now before spreading any more around 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A little over an inch, maybe an inch and a half, so not very big, this is one of the smallest Panesthia in culture I believe. 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, they're definitely similar to Macropanesthia in looks, but not in size lol, (nor are they especially closely related, Panesthia are in the subfamily Panesthiinae, whereas Macropanesthia are in the subfamily Geoscapheinae).

Yeah. It's so strange how some speices are distantly related, yet look so similar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
