I have performed several more experiments with brown widows and pholcids; none of them were particularly successful because sooner or later I would send the poor animals running for their lives.
Also, I have decided to quit bugworld for a while! Invertebrate ethics can be extremely weird (see here for several morbidly interesting phenomena, including senility-induced starvation in Carabus) and it is giving me a severe headache. I expect to continue regurgitating advice in entomological discussion circles though; entomology is a dying art and I refuse to completely abandon it.
In the meantime I suppose that I will start posting more non-entomological strange things here (feel free to leave entocomments on my old posts though)
Sorry to hear this, hopefully you'll come back to more entomological studies one day! Hopefully your next venture is less stress inducing!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWill attempt to revive @thedominoproject as soon as I manage to stop constantly producing severe absentminded mistakes
(every once in a while I either kill a poor vertebrate or produce a comment which makes the other entohobbyists give me strange stares)
