Bugboy3092 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sooo, I have a few wheel bugs (one I caught, and two more I got from my friend) but I’m having trouble finding anything on caring for them (although I read that eggs are apparently hard to keep alive). So does anyone have any advice on care for these? I’m mainly looking for nymph care, as I know my adults will die soon after laying eggs (I’ve already got some eggs from one of the females) but I’m not sure how to keep the eggs and nymphs. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CactusKing Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 No expert but I would try to house them like any other assassin bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfreidsma Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 From what I found they like to be kept like other assassin bugs in many ways. Keep slightly moist. They will readily mate in captivity. The problem comes with the eggs. I got mine last time too late to get eggs. But from the research I did it sounded like they may need a cold dormancy period. I was going to put some in the fridge and some out of the fridge to test this. Mine were also too far in the life cycle to test foods. The previous ones I had as a kid liked pretty much whatever I gave them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
