Dares philippinensis

Hi guys

I am surprised by the amount of views my little, informal blog is getting, but I am still waiting for the comments ;)

Here are a few of my first instar Dares philippinensis nymphs. These are robust little buggers and tough as nails.

I love the primitive look of them, but this becomes enough more pronounced as they mature.

I am keeping them quite humid with wet peat as substrate (best substrate in my opinion) and feeding them on guava and mango and they are doing well.

The above one looks like a male and I am sure one can sex them from first instar stage, but I havent really bothered because I have quite a big group so there is  bound to be both sexes. 

Hope you enjoyed this awesome species.
