Thanks Hisserdude for you welcome, I took a look at your blog spot, very nice scolopendra. I kept one years ago. Pure predator, fast and vicious. On the subject of regulation, l understand the difficulties of importing to the US especially livestock. Do you have any idea on the current regulations of exporting either dried insects or livestock (larvae) from the US

Hi all, My name is Rob and I am from Ireland. Great to be here amongst fellow beetle lovers and I look forward to conversing with others. I have studied insects for over 25 years, keeping and breeding mainly butterflies and moths along with beetles and various other insects. I managed to build up a nice collection of dried insects during this time. I took a break for a few years from my hobby as kids came along. Now the break is over and I cannot wait to get back in to it again. It's nice to see how social media and forums have brought like minded people together and it sure makes it a lot easier, when I started this hobby first, there was no internet, it was all done by writing letters and waiting weeks for replies especially from exotic countries. We've come a long way......... Anyway I'm looking forward to starting breeding of beetles as soon as I can. Hoping to start with some of the African Flower Beetles (M.polyphemus) Rob
