So so pretty ~^_^~

[@bugtalk84]

I must say, the first one was my favourite.

[@bugsincyberspace]

And it's really the most accessible species. The video quality on the first species was notably better and so that better represented the beauty for them. I was free-handing it for the other three this time in a awkward positions. Thought about taking new footage of them during editing but the show must go on. ;) Thanks BugTalk!

I thought they eat souls. That's why we never see people in the woods.
Once I've been in the woods, and when I returned I had no soul anymore. But some good pictures if tiny polydesmidas.

[@donteague614]

Could you update on care requirements that you have discovered? Also what is the adult size? Thanx for sharing.

[@ianaliciaperry5243]

So pretty and delicate! Wonderful.

[@bugsincyberspace]

Thank you very much! They would look really nice in a planted tank, methinks.

[@carabid_4770]

The Gosodesmus claremontus are beautifully coloured!

[@bugsincyberspace]

Some variability in their colors too!

Not many understand how long I have wanted this

I hope the b n’ b is going well

#Reptipods You ever seen something this cool?

[@bugsincyberspace]

He's in CA, right? The last 3 species in this vid come from CA.

[@carabid_4770]

@@bugsincyberspace Yep!

[@j.l.stevens]

Out of the many species of arthropods I keep, Brachycybe lecontii are one of my favorites. There is just something very special about them. Thanks, Peter!

[@bugsincyberspace]

You have good taste in bugs!

[@j.l.stevens]

@@bugsincyberspace Thank you! Haha I agree with Yoda!

[@ardenhatch2505]

Hey, I’m working on a research project on these millipedes and we are trying to keep them alive - how do you do it?

[@kriswTmom]

So beautiful 😍😍

[@mx.chalky4995]

theyre so beautiful

[@bugsincyberspace]

Thanks!

[@Amazingcoins4you]

Man I want some of those. There so cool.

[@bugsincyberspace]

Wonderful nano tank pets!

[@Editer38738]

I've been looking for these in Tennessee.

[@maxgilles7025]

Do they exclusively eat fungus ?

[@bugsincyberspace]

Honestly not sure. Often the fungus that they feed on is nearly imperceptible, I think. I wouldn't be surprised if they feed on the wood that the fungus works to decay, or some combination thereof in part or in full. I am offering them decaying wood and kinshi. 2 of these species are new for me and so I'm just sort of making observations through the, likely short, time I have them.

[@phil3299]

1. How long do they live?
2. Do they have symbiotic mites, opportunistic ticks, etc?

[@bugsincyberspace]

1. couple years but it's a guess
2. not the few I have in my tanks, but I'm not sure in the wild

[@donnajocatlady3839]

🥰🥰🥰

[@Editer38738]

Where did you collect the b.lecontiis from

[@terralo4929]

Woah, stunning species, they look so magical! I guess they eat lichen too?
