These were the 2nd "Cubaris" species to set the isopod world on fire. First there was the Rubber Ducky. Then there was the Amber - not Amber Ducky as some wrongfully call it. Seldom seen in the US, a friend had an opportunity for me to get some so I had to jump on it.

If the incubator is rockin' - eggs should be hatching within the next 24hrs...or however the song goes.
First one broke out last night, this morning I woke up to a squad.

I got a 1.1 pair of immature of Phiddipus regius "Orange" from a vendor at a recent expo. I'm normally not into jumpers, but when you get offered a cute face like this how could you say no?

If you've ever done any type of pottery, you know how difficult it is to end up with something that looks great at the end. That isn't the case for potter wasps.
As the name implies, they make nests that resemble pots so they can lay a single egg in it and stuff it with a paralyzed insect for the larva to eat when it hatches. This pot was made by Eumenes fraternus.

Someone once said I charge too much for Cubaris sp "Red Panda King" compared to a vendor on ebay.
The thing is, at that time I never had any variant of Cubaris sp "Panda King" let alone offer any for sale. It wasn't until after another vendor saw the comment and got a good laugh from it that he decided to send some my way. These won't be up on the website any time soon, but my brother the Isopod God himself Edwin Lopez has plenty to spare along with lots of other species for all types of budgets. Go check him out and send him a message for whatever species you're looking for!

Not really sure what morph of Cubrais murina these are, but they reproduce quickly and have large broods. Tag along their pretty docile nature and they make for a pretty good feeder. These were given to me by another vendor at one of the expos I was vending at.
