C. elegans and P. sp. karon are here

[Enn49]

Surprise arrivals this morning, their dispatch been held up by the cold weather, are my Cyriocosmus elegans (Trinidad Dwarf) and Phlogiellus sp. karon (formerly Yamia sp Karon). Adult dls for both of these is only around 2''. They both seem very lethargic although they have begun to move albeit slowly.

Cyriocosmus elegans, Jumbie, is just so tiny and frail looking.
This was taken just after it arrived.


It has now started moving and looks a bit better.


Phlogiellus sp. karon, Siam.


I have 2 more dwarves coming tomorrow, a Cyriocosmus bertae and a Paraphysa sp. "Tiger"

Jumbie, the Cyriocosmus is scuttling around quite happily now but sadly I think the Phlogiellus has died. There is no response when I touch a leg but I shall leave it until morning and double check. I contacted the shop and he's asked me to keep him informed.

Jumbie seems fine after a bad start and ate a pinhead last night. Sadly the Phlogiellus died and can't be replaced so I'm to get a refund.

Jumbie, C elegans, is very difficult to get a pic of but you can just see its legs between the cork and the container side towards the bottom of the photo.
