I love bugs...

Heather, do you mean these beautiful guys?


I love them. They're so cool, and very curious. Sometimes when I'm photographing them, they will just hover and watch me before going back to their flowers.

Just found out I can get 100 Dwarf White Isopods for $27 shipped from Roach Crossing...now I need to find a way to make $30. Ugh, I wish I was able to get a job.

Kyle is a great guy - you won't be disappointed with your order from him! Maybe a relative or friend can loan some funds... or there's the ol' lemonade stand approach (or classics like babysitting, dogsitting/walking, etc).

Heather, I think you'd like these guys. They're called "Bee Flies" and are totally harmless, bee-mimics in the family Bombyliidae.
Does reddit accept cute little bee flies? : pikdit

But the big fuzzy bumblebees and kin are also pretty awesomely cute :3 Dragonflies are wicked cool, too.

Ok, the bee flies are pretty darn cute! I wonder if they are good for wtf's? Can we breed them? They are WAY cuter than crickets! I bet they smell better too

You wouldn't be able to culture bee flies, unfortunately. The larvae are parasitoids of other insects, that is, they are parasites that ultimately kill their host. You'd need to rear the specific host species that the larvae parasitize to rear them... And the hosts are quite often particular bees and wasps. I think the adult bee flies lay their eggs directly on or near the nests of their host so that their larvae can emerge, find a host, penetrate the host and begin feeding on them from the inside out.

Umm yea.. not so cute anymore...

Wow! How can something so cute be so scary!?

I made $40 today working at home for my parents! Woohoo! I'm placing an order for 100 Dwarf White Isopods from someone with good reviews who will give me 100 for $18 shipped...now I'm on the hunt for springtails ...any tips on where a poor person like me could get a ton of springtails(want to culture AND seed my 100 gallon tank) for a good price? I'm also going to post a wanted ad
