I've recently became interested in predatory Hemipterans Will be posting pics of more assassins and other predatory Hemipterans soon so beware. Lol Quote
pannaking22 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 Fun species! I used to have one but unfortunately it died while molting. I'm sure I'll get another one someday Reduviids are great to keep! Quote
Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 That's gorgeous! Can't wait to see more pictures of them I agree that predacious hemipterans are awesome! My sub-adult red spot just made its final molt! Quote

Trailblazr80 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Posted June 11, 2014 I'm getting some of these! Do the males ever fly? Quote
Matt Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 I'd love to get hold of some of these or Microtomus purcis over in the UK. If anyone has any spare eggs I'd be interested, I have White Spot and Red Spot Assassins laying here at present. Send me a PM. Quote
Lucanus Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Posted June 18, 2014 I'm getting some of these! Do the males ever fly? Nice! Yes, adult males love to fly. Quote
Lucanus Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Posted June 30, 2014 Quick update I'm left with only 8 specimens now as most of mine died while I was in FL Quote
Lucanus Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Posted June 30, 2014 Pics of the specimens : Specimen 1 2 3 4 5 Quote
Hisserdude Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Aww, sorry about that. I love the red highlights on the nymphs! Quote
Lucanus Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Posted July 7, 2014 Aww, sorry about that. I love the red highlights on the nymphs! Me too! I'm hoping some of them will retain that coloration to adulthood Quote
Hisserdude Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 That would be cool! I see some roly-polys in their cages, are they food or cleaners? Quote
Lucanus Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Posted July 8, 2014 That would be cool! I see some roly-polys in their cages, are they food or cleaners? They got in there by accident. Lol Seems that M. picipes don't eat rolies Quote
