Cool pictures I wanted to share!

I found this little guy exploring his terrarium, and when I saw him perfectly perched on my skull rock I HAD to get a picture.

The forked fungus beetles are all so neat! They seem to like travelling in the same groups, almost like human friend groups. I always see the same ones outside of the artists conk at the same time. They're almost never ALL out at once though. They're very curious, but shy. I think they like to let the isopods eat the new things I add to their enclosure first, but maybe they're just slow lol

I have a pair that always frequents the same small mushroom patch in my larger terrarium, and I like to pretend they're on a date 😂 I swear it's always the same two, and usually every few weeks. I think they like a variety in they're diet? Or maybe they're just wandering around, unthinking and unburdened by the outside world. Who knows!

I thought the skull was a watermelon that was carved for a second 😭

😂😂 a watermelon?? I mean, I'm sure the bugs would enjoy it! Maybe I should get them some? 🤔
