ok not really cham related but they are a creature that some on the forum may find interesting, especially those who are microscopy enabled and would like something interesting to view while waiting for their next fecal float opportunity. cham pathology can be very boring if all of your floats...

have received 3 different emails this week, either inquiring as to the differences of jacksons or maybe even some confusion, so i just thought i would post a quick link that explains it better than i can (i tend to be better at confusing an issue than i am at explaining it, lol)
so, for those...

FINALLY, THE EYE OF XANTHO,
after 2 long months on backorder, including multiple delays, i have finally taken possession of my celestron pentaview 44348 lcd/ldm. this was released at CES 2011 to rave reviews and have been flying off of the shelves ever since.
first impressions are mostly...
macro photography of L1 tinodera sinensis
L1 tinodera sinensis, on a toothpick at 50x. really hard to do macrophotography of a live subject at these magnification levels because every movement of the equipment, the subject or the photographer, is multiplied x50. they will sometimes sit...
For anyone who has been following this years mantis ooth in my public albums, they have finally hatched at 3 am about 22 days after being setup, and there is a butload of them, aft least 200. If the give away oothe hasn't hatched yet, I would expect it to hatch within the next couple of days...

every once in a while i get an email asking me what fly eggs look like, so, i thought i would post a pic.
these were raised recently for a non cham related project (kokanee fishing) so the process wasnt monitored that closely.
pretty sure the ones in front are green bottle flies, not a 100%...

last summer there were a couple of threads started by people looking to obtain chinese mantis ooths just after the season had ended. commercially available ooths can be hard to come by jun-dec. most of the commercial mantis ooth suppliers use the same regimen for breeding and/or collecting...
if any of you viewed my last mantis thread, you may remember that i had two chinese ooth, including one of unknown viability that had gotten wet. the first one hatched out fine. a week later, the second one from the same source had still not hatched out, so it was presumed non-viable. needed my...
is there anyone out there who has calci-worms, aka black soldier fly larva(hermetia illucens) on hand, that could weigh them and tell me approximately how much they weigh or approx how many are in a gram ? thank you
over the years i have probably hatched a couple dozen ooth but i have yet to catch one in the act. checked them out this afternoon and nothing, took a two hr nap and there they were. rough count about 125, was given a second ooth cause it got wet but im not giving up on it yet . the auto macro...
