• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Aesthetics are certainly in the eye of the beholder but have you ever considered how many truly beautiful invertebrates there are out there?

Consider for example the legendary Chrysina (formerly Plusiotis) gloriosa beetle, a metallic scarab garbed in metallic green and silver chrome. Or Cotalpa consobrina, another metallic scarab wrapped in gold with a blue sheen to the toe tips much like a P. murinus tarantula.

Or consider the centipedes Scolopendra heros castaneiceps with a purple body, red head, and yellow legs. Or maybe Scolopendra heros arizonensis, bright orange with yellow legs and a purple head, rarely seen in the wild let alone on the market.

Beautiful, perhaps not to some, but the vinegaroon is perhaps one of the most interesting invertebrates and among the hardiest and longest lived.

Why doesn't everyone have these?

The problem is that they are rarely on the market.

WE HAVE THEM ALL IN STOCK RIGHT NOW.

Stop by and see them and see what else you've been missing.

Cheers.
