We all have our favorite invert that's in our collection. I've had so many that it's hard to pick a specific favorite. After keeping many invertebrates, my all time favorite would be my female my ghost mantis. I could watch that thing for a long time and not get bored. Seeing her sway from side to side even made me chuckle at times. To see her catch a fly and then eat it alive was brutal, yet interesting. What is your favorite invertebrate to keep and why?

 
Even after all the time I've spent taking care of interesting inverts I think my favorite is still my blue death-feigning beetles. They're so active and so much fun to watch.

 
I miss my huge tarantula collection, but probably my favorite one to keep now are Hellgrammites. Gotta have clean water and lots of live prey, and its almost the season to go get them now

Roaches are my favorite, I just love how they look and how they behave, and the variety of species you can get in the hobby is huge!

Plus most of them are fairly easy to keep and maintain.

 
Probably my favorite at the moment would be Darkling Beetles. they're mostly easy to raise and fun to watch.

 
Mine are Dynastes hercules hercules and Dynastes tityus (they're still larvae right now all L2s) Even in larval stage they are fun to watch because they change so much in several months.

 
That's awesome! I want a Dynastes hercules hercules pair but all the ones available have a curved horn.
