Some of my invertebrate photos. : )

My Madagascar hissing cockroach Gilligan. I had another male, Evosh, and a female, Josie. Unfortunately they have since passed away but I love these guys.

A couple praying mantis'.

Mantis I traded for my cockroaches.

Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus)

XD I was hoping they would breed for me but unfortunately they passed away before they did. I got them during the fall and they died during the spring so it was still too cold for them to breed. They died shortly after I put them in a new terrarium and I think it was the mulch that did them in, since I've read around that certain types are poisonous to tarantulas so I was thinking the same might have been true for them. : ( I'm hoping to get a few more before I get some tarantulas and possibly get a colony going.

I have 3 male hissers right now....can't wait 'till I get more cockroach species....I'm definitely going to get some females and start a colony.

Hissers are fun! I have one of my own (acquired from our department's outreach colony). I'm super excited about the glowspots reproducing. Once the colony gets big enough, I'm going to snag a couple males for myself.
