Too many soil invertebrates. I have a hard time remembering how many I actually have.

Yeah, probably easier for you to list the ones you don’t have.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

I've got a dog, and until a few days ago a praying mantis. Luckily she laid an ooth before she died, so I might have mantids come spring. And then obviously the ants in my signature.

I want baby mantids

idk but if you are talking to me, it was a high humidity sp. and a very small baby so i kept in in a 32 oz tall deli cup. it died after a few months for unknown reasons, but probably my fault :( because it was my first mantis, i prob made some error in its keeping

A dog, 2 guinea pigs, ants, and feeder silverfish.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Yeah, I have a few silverfish that I plan to eventually, once they reproduce more, use as feeders.
