Found some of these Lilac springtails (Ceratophysella sp. I think). Not an actual picture of my find. Wouldn't've had an issue grabbing a handful from a pile like that, there was maybe 5 when i found them. Anyway, I've been trying to collect some for about a week now with no luck. I've tried cucumber, cremini mushroom, and wetted catnip as bait for my traps so far. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong with the design or placement of the traps, or if they just don't like my bait. For the placement I've been digging a shallow hole near where I initially found them, placing the trap at around ground level and burying it with leaf litter, then covering the pile will some rotting wood bits and more leaf litter.

Couldn't find a "self caught" or "solo hunting" flare lol so diy it is! Found a bunch of pods in my yard the other day, got them set up in some temporary housing for now. Wanted to share my finds. Got some porcellio scabers for sure, and what I thiiiiiink might be a few oniscus asellus, not positive though, I'm pretty bad at the ID portion of this hobby still. Any help correcting or confirming my guesses would be appreciated ;)

Cool little dudes, pretty pumped about the Oniscus find if that's what they are.

New little dudes finally came in! Pretty chuffed to watch and see how they mix. Kinda feel bad that they're feeders.
