Philoscia muscorum and offspring.

They are about 2-3weeks old now. Growing well.....eating well...the babies seems to actually prefer bug pieces to the yeast....they will eat the yeast but they really like the bug pieces. They dont seem to be eating the moss....thank God too.

Also I know there is something plastic in the moss but until I move them to a larger bin it will have to stay as the babies congregate around it.

Ethical question

So I am a firm believer in keeping native species as much as possible. I live in North Carolina. We have a few native carnivorous plants and my question is this- is it ok and ethical to take seeds or runners (idk if any reproduce with runners) and leave the mature plant and to not take more then a couple specimens. My goal would be to not damage the parent plant. If it cant be done I would really like to know before I start paying attention to the marshes and trying to identify the plants.

I know some of the plants are protected so of course I would gather any of those species.

And who are you?

Can anyone tell me what she is? She isnt Porcellio scaber, Armadillidium nasutum or Armadillidium vulgare.

First I hope this is the right flair.

So what has more biodiversity....the soil under the maple tree or the soil in the middle of the yard? My carrot brain says the soil under the tree would be the most diverse.

My goal is to make a terrarium from the soil...water it...and have a natural native terrarium with natural and native inhabitants.

This is my "big" terrarium. It houses the "culls" from my breeding projects. Its been going for about 6 months. Seedlings are dwarf cornflower. It also has a pink starlight bromeliad, asparagus fern, and a fishbone prayer plant....they havent ate them yet. There may be a couple of dandelion seedlings starting too but idk if im gonna let them grow.

Before anyone says more leaves there is way more leaves then it looks like and this terrarium is my baby.....I watch it and the isopods that live in it like a hawk. They never run out of leaves. I add them as they need them.

Im curious what is needed for shipping isopods. So like if someone in California wants to buy some Porcellio scabers from me and I live in North Carolina..can you break it down barney style for what is needed.
