Dear comrades,

Does anyone in Moscow have live insects, and for free!!!!
not butterflies (they're a bit hard to handle, I think) and not cockroaches (there are already enough of them)?
you can larvae)))
it would be nice to have beautiful beetles (well, there are pakhnods, or other things)
or praying mantises...
or stick insects...

the main thing is to be beautiful and unassuming in content ..

if someone responds, I will be very grateful!

I still have two ground beetles that I caught near my house:) True, they always sleep, very rarely get out of the ground in a terrarium.

stick insects are very demanding...))) and what would be interesting to grow, ours or the tropics?

Oh, they're pretentious...
I have available a terrarium with heating, lighting and sort of adjustable humidity....
a couple....
so, of course, I would like to grow some tropics!
however, there was no special experience, and it is very scary to run to buy terribly expensive (albeit beautiful) tropichekih nakekomyh something.
I would like to start with something simpler)

Yes??? and what kind of ground beetles?) what do you feed them in winter?))

In the summer, when caught, several times with pleasure ate a few maggot worms, but then I noticed that for example, finely chopped gruel from an apple is also chewed, and drink a lot, so they almost always have a lid with water and a piece of chopped apple in the terrarium. Although often it is not touched-they sleep...
Type of ground beetles... yes the most common ones, http://www.zin.ru/ANIMALIA/Coleoptera/images/sphodr.jpg These are the Harpalinae Sphodrini... or not, that's more like it http://molbiol.ru/forums/uploads/a001/b090...-1255350138.jpg

Oh, they're pretentious...
I have a terrarium with heating, lighting and a kind of controlled humidity....



As I understand it, you are being dissuaded from stickmen. In vain! simple types can be easily grown in a jar and fed, for example, apples, soon the greens will go.
This is me to the fact that you have a terrarium with adjustable humidity! here you can also take a swing at leafs, although this is another conversation.
