coelacanth

thats the Atlas moth from southeast Asia (imported by the butterfly house from the Phillipines)

I have no idea what sort of beetle this was going to turn into but it was cool:

thought you might

depends on the person actually. It doesn't affect me at all. bdspider got some effects from it from Fijian giant millipedes. David Attenborough had whole sections of skin turn black and peel off after carrying one round in his pocket in his early days as an animal-collector in Asia.

either would be fine. Whichever you prefer or whichever you can get

poor little tackers. she should have kept thorny devils instead of geckoes then lol

giant pill-millipede from Sai Yok in Thailand (near the border with Myanmar)

jejeje, giant millipedes secrete a cyanide-infused liquid from their bodies as a means of self-defence which can burn the skin

what about this beastie? Giant millipede from Bukit Fraser in Malaysia (thats a camera lens-cap beside it)... the other picture I posted earlier was a "man-faced bug" (try looking at it upside-down and you'll get the name; I tried revolving it on photobucket but it wouldn't work). The Singapore one is Catacanthus nigripens. The orangey one Livingart has might be C. incarnatus (or maybe just more orangey because its dead?)

how come the GBA gets a name but the cory doesn't? Poor guy, imagine how left-out he must feel

that only works with human boys. The rattling is the brain.

don't be such a wuss. Is it a Thai species? I've noticed that the southeast Asian mygalomorphs are often a lot more aggressive than Neotropical ones (and some of the NZ ones are no slouches in the attack department either!)

cool. Thats not one of yours is it?

what's it labelled as?

lets try this "what is it?" to start you off, its from Singapore...

that was from a tarantula forum

that's why I posted the thing above

I think he meant they were also loricariids. Its just a matter of definition

yes

daphnia

from the Wild Animal Control Act of 1977 [(5)Except as authorised by a permit or licence that is effective for the purposes of subsection (1), no person may, without a permit issued by the Director-General,— (a)Capture or convey or keep in captivity any thar, chamois, possum, or wallaby; or (b)Except for the purposes of farming or operating a safari park, capture or convey or keep in captivity any deer.] in other words, yes you do need a permit to keep a possum, wallaby etc in captivity

is it Phormictopus cubensis? (the taxonomy of Caribbean mygalomorphs is very confused, and I personally wouldn't vouch for any name given to tourist-trade specimens)

if you're laid up in bed then you're obviously not in any hurry to go anywhere...so why not take just a few more seconds typing on your posts to make them more readable?

that's a wierd tank

what was that? An acknowledgement of source? Jolly good show old chap; certain persons will be pleased.
