Hi all!
Mostly on here for advice about keeping a couple of native species, specifically Eastern and/or Western hercules beetles. Also, advice on how to catch as many cool bugs as possible. And possibly a small collection of roaches, now that I've fully comprehended how many lovely species exist.
I already have several fish tanks, though I'm working on thinning them down so I have everything gone before college next year. I've also kept dart frogs and Madagascar hissing roaches in the past, clearly not in the same tank, and I managed to raise a fairly nice batch of the roaches when my pair bred unexpectedly. I also have a fairly large collection of dead things and parts of things, mostly skeletons, mounted insects, and jarred found-dead fish specimens. My room looks a bit like a small natural science museum after a miniature tornado.
Full disclosure, anything that dies of old age under my care will end up mounted and either in my collection or being traded for something else for my collection. I'm not gonna kill anything under my care just to mount it, but if it dies with all its appendages intact, it's going to end up on a pin.
