Thank you so much! I can't define how much I apreciate what you say! So many people don't, or don't want to understand because it's against the rules in their head. Instead of learning about inverts they stick to the same old conventions (which is totally ok! it's proven to work) and shun anyone that doesn't. Certain types of bugs lack behind in the hobby because people aren't entirely sure about what damage what bugs can cause.

They need to be treated with respect, not fear, and we gotta know what they can do and make that informationg accessable to everyone. 

Heh... I'm gonna make that a blog! 

But yeah, people like you and I make the hobby work because in our own ways we get it out further, push the limits, show the world, learn and love these incredible alien looking machines! 

I can't wait to move to America, to be where I can get down on my hands and knees and learn about all kinds of awesome bugs that one just can't get here. Local species ARE cool, don't get me wrong, but they are allready categorised and plenty is known about them because the species are so few.

I'd love to sell bugs too, it would be awesome working and helping breed bugs for suppliers and stuff. Bugs are the most important thing to me I guess!

Haaahaa! Brilliant! I hurt from laughter, nicely put man!

I think that IS something I'd perhaps like to try one day but not any time soon! I'd perhaps get a few generations going and get to say I raised them myself LITERALLY!!

I'm a pretty crazy lady but it kinda does help us learn what species to run like blazes from and what ones we shouldn't fear. While I don't think most people should endeavour to take bites under any circumstances, us few insane people can do aaall the testing just to make sure everyone is clear!

Heh that's how it started out for me. I was allways reading about inverts, drawing them (selling some of my drawings when luck favoured) and hunting the things since I could walk. It hasn't changed one bit! My obsession has grown and so has my collection!

In Ireland there's very few bug people, seems it's a whoooole lot more popular everywhere else. That's why I'm moving!

Hey there!

It's good to see the invert industry thriving!
It pretty much doesn't exist here so I'm really glad to see folks like yourself!

Wow, that is an awesome photo. The photos I uploaded are actually of the cave roach nymphs I ordered from you a couple months ago. :) Though, they all turned out to be male, so no nymphs for me this time around. I'll probably buy some more in the near future in hopes of getting some females. :)

Hey Peter! 

 I'm anxious to see your upcomming photos!

Thank you for your nice words! I'll hope to get my breeding-projects running later on this year!

Hi Peter!

 

Thank you for your comment! I'll try to make some better photos the upcomming days!

I like the photos of your orchid mantids!
