How many? And how much space do you utilize? How does your family/housemates feel about it? (Includes all creatures, not just inverts).
For fun- How many tanks/enclosures do you own?

But I'm also getting like 6 more species of isopods, E. suturalis, and P. nivea this week from roachcrossing.com! (Can't wait!)
My room mates don't mind as long as nobody escapes, and my room is tiny so at the moment me and my bugs are very close...but when I move in August more space will be available and thus I will have LOTS more!

I have over 60, 32 oz deli cups with larvae/pupae and beetles that need to be separated, also a large bin with many bess beetles.
The main complaint that I and others have is the black flys, there seems to be a few species in my room. Not too bad though.
The above posts remind me to set up some glass aquariums, so that I can enjoy viewing my beetles.

Wow! I thought I had a lot...ha! Not even close.
Tank of 10 blue death feigning beetles
Tank of 14 diabolical ironclads
Tank of 14 darklings ( I believe zophobas morio)
Tanks of 6 bess beetles
Plastic container of 3 darklings (Tenebrio molitor)
Plastic container of 4 smooth death feigning beetles (asbolus laevis)
Plastic container of 5 nyctoporus carinata and 3 wooly darklings (eleodes osculans - my only communal group)
1 deli cup with an African mantis (sphodromantis viridis)
1 deli cup with a small jumping spider (unknown species)
I just started using sticky yellow strips to trap flies- they are sold at garden supply shops and do not use insecticides. They are labeled as non-toxic and are good at catching those black fungus gnats. It's not a preventative, but still works. You can tie or stand your strips up on a popsicle stick, out of reach of your beetles. I use mine for my bess beetle tank, and I've counted about 50 flies on one strip already! I got mine at Armstrong, brand is Monterey, for $9.

Where do you get all your darklings and death feigners? I'm jealous! (Trying to find horned ones here

Some I bought from Peter, others from a local reptile shop. All the diabolicals, woolies, and carinatas are wild caught. 2 of my asbolus laevis were wild caught in the high desert out here. I'll be going to the Imperial dunes soon to catch some blue death beetles! Where did you get your assassin bugs? I want to get some.

Got them from Peter. I am very interested in many of those if you happen to catch extras!

yeah, and some adults fell over while still soft and the elytra are flattened, and one of them has underdeveloped back legs ( they are tiny.) i just can not kill them, because they can live like three or four years, and it would be cutting off their lives really short, lol.
