My first pepper growing season

[PrairieChilihead]

You're right. On the floor are containers with crickets, lobster roaches and red runner roaches. I keep scorpions (about 500+), Assassin bugs and big roaches like Blaberus sp. In the spring I'm starting with centipedes again

Okay. No one else has asked this so I will:

500+ Scorpions?!!! Now that I'd like to see. Pictures please!

That is normal. Only freaks have one, it's like eating only pickled jalapenos your whole life.

I used to have 100+ cobras

The blue on the second to last one is stunning though.

I see enough centipedes when I'm moving firewood. I've just now developed the ability to let them go on their way without squishing them. I think the skinks might eat them.
I get larva in my pile of potting soil too. Want I should send you some? Probably wouldn't survive the trip, huh?

LOL! We have been trading "bugs" for 3 or 4 years now and yes they will survive the trip across the pond if you pack them correctly

cool looking scorpions, that 3rd picture of the blue & yellow bug is that 1 bug or 2 ?

 

[Vincent]

on the 3rd picture is a 20cm long centipede during the molting proces. The yellow part is the old skin.

Those white habs are a pain, aren't they? Last year I gave up on them after I got 6 out of maybe 40. Then a week later I noticed 2 more had popped and I rescued them too.
