Would this be an appropriate place to ask about how to keep a terrarium humidified and cool for bess beetles, or is this more an "ew, insects" kinda place?

There was this spider that had a giant web in the skylight of my bathroom (that extended all along the ceiling of the bathroom) and it would catch a bunch of insects up there (basically the perfect position for a web; all the bugs fly up into the skylight and get caught in the web). It finally died a couple days ago and fell down into the bathtub (which is directly below the skylight where its web is). Yesterday I saw another spider on the ceiling, and I zoomed in with my phone camera and it appeared to be a brown recluse (which are common here and frequently appear around the house), so I shot it down with some Febreze (the only way I could think of to get it down from the ceiling). Unfortunately, after getting a closer look after it fell, I realized it was not a brown recluse. It was the same species as the other spider, but smaller/younger (I'm pretty sure this is the species in question - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pholcus_phalangioides; with the blurry phone picture its cephalothorax looked like it had the typical violin symbol of brown recluses). I left it near the wall on the off-chance it would have survived the spraying, and later I saw it climbing up the wall towards the web. Great news! But apparently the spray did do some sort of damage, because it kept falling while trying to climb up, and finally died sometime last night. Feel terrible about it, especially since it was my fault. Hopefully there are more spiders of its kind around to take up residence in that web. I formed an attachment to that spider, and it was very helpful as a form of pest control.

 I found three black widows last week and took them home for a photo shoot. This is the best photo I’ll ever take as long as I live.

You got depth of field on spider legs. That is badass.

At the beginning of last school year, my younger son, then a first grader, brought home a mealworm to raise as a science project. (Everyone in his class got one. His brother got one three years before.) In due time, the mealworm became a pupa, and then on November 19th of last year, Bill the Bug exited his cocoon. I mention the date, because googling suggested that mealworm beetles live about two months in beetle form. Today is July 19th.  Now, I know the pandemic has distorted everyone's time senses, but November to July is definitely more than two months, right?

One of the first axioms of bug science is that a beetle only gets to gently caress once and then it dies but it also works in reverse so when you keep it in captivity it can't mate and is basically immortal.

Call Your Grandma posted:One of the first axioms of bug science is that a beetle only gets to gently caress once and then it dies but it also works in reverse so when you keep it in captivity it can't mate and is basically immortal. His brother's beetle lived definitely less than three months, and only maybe more than two! (We don't know whether Bill is William or Wilhelmina, but my sons use 'he' to refer to him. I assume it doesn't really matter for longevity purposes.)

Found this guy inside my house and trying to figure out if it is a black garden ant or a carpenter ant. I killed it before I realized I should have taken more photos and put a quarter next to it, but was wondering if anyone could help me identify it? I found one upstairs my house on a mirror and another one on my first floor walking up a wall:

I just started doing research on keeping a jumping spider as a pet and I think I shall. If it happens I think I might start a jumping spider pet blog/thread here in PI.

Here is Window Spider II, they are a helpful and kind bug who is assisting us in the occasional fruit fly issue we have over our sink. I'm not certain what type of spider they are but they make a very pretty web that they actively work very hard within. Our first Window Spider had a long and happy life before a (seemingly natural?) death, so I wish this one the best in their hard, important works. more than anything else I think I'm impressed by how well modern cellphone cameras can capture detail.

Anybody here know a good mantis breeder? Asking for a friend, literally in this case. I generally just gently caress with roaches and spiders, though I did have a pet praying mantis a few years ago.
