Dave: “isn’t that a wonderful sight!?”
Me: No 😱
Incredable Dave! Its an explosion of Assasins. When you opened the container of baby white spots my mouth dropped open..just blown away! Good on ya.
There amazing and we was just as shocked 😂👍
It's incredible the difference in size from adults to babies.
Voracious assassin bugs, brilliant Dave, I'm delighted the breeding has been successful and another awesome job by yourself and camera lady. Super video as usual Dave.
Thanks matey they are great things to keep very interesting behaviour 👍
I was umming and ahhing about assassin bugs but after watching this video its a definite yes I need some in my collection!
Wow the baby assassin bugs are absolutely stunning, and the white dots on the adults are so beautiful! The babies look like little flower buds from afar ❤️ I love watching your videos and training my brain to stop being auto-afraid of these lil non-creepy crawlies!
That's a LOT of bugs ! They do seem quite prolific once you've got the key to keeping them. Loved the feeding session. Very cool !
Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Cheers mate they are awsome bud👍
another fine video PROFF, amazing how a simple change in enclosure has you with a BIG BIG smile. well done camera lady --thanks for sharing your success.
Thanks Graeme we do like it when things fall into place 👍👍
Awesome Update Dave!
Beautiful enclosures the adults have too and nice simple ones for the babies!
Much love from Canada Dave!
Cheers buddy 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Cheers Dave!
I'm with camera lady. If my husband insisted on this I'd only come in at feeding and baby time. Lol
Lovely looking bugs and well done on the breeding.
Thank you matey 👍
Congrats on the success guys!! Great stuff!!
Thank you 👍
Definitely call that a success. Well done!
Yes! Thank you!
Lovely feeding from Camera lady
She loves feed time as much as they do 👍👍
I love the ones with the white spots, they are so pretty :) Congrats on successfully breeding your bugs! The babies of both species are also so cool looking with their yellow legs!
There pretty amazing little things 👍
Very cool Dave! Excellent video. These little guys are awesome!
Thank you 👍
Congrats Dave! Good to see your bugs are breeding. Get ready for literally hundreds of the little blighters! Mine took about 8-9 months to produce the next generation. It's very interesting that you didn't have success keeping them arboreally. Both my white spot and horrida are kept arboreally and they have bred so prolifically that I cannot give them away fast enough! Mine just dump their eggs on the substrate. Under the substrate. On the cork bark... Basically anywhere. At one point this year I think I had about 350 horrida... I almost couldn't breed enough roaches and crickets fast enough for them! The terrestrial set-up looks good as well and I can see why it works. Perhaps I will try it at some point. Assassin bugs are awesome! Greetings from Norway :)
Hi Steve, yes I think the turning point was the damp pots with substrate in them for laying although they still lay all over the place and noe now I have loads 😂😂👍
I am not really into bugs and spiders, but your channel increases my knowlegde about these creatures !!! maybe even a little less scared..... I love your enthusiasm
Welcome to a fascinating world ❤️👍
Bravo Bravo very well done Dave & Camera Lady aka Camera master that was so enjoyable and satisfying keep em coming so much fun to watch bless you both .👏
Thanks so much
This was an amazing video Dave. Incredible to watch the assassin bugs feed on the roaches. Great stuff as always. 👍
Thanks they are awsome at feed time 👍
I can already tell this mans channel is gonna blow up real quick
As go back and watch these older vids I marvel at the evolution of the beastie room.
those babies are adorable, thanks for an intro to these bugs
Your very welcome 👍
Hi Dave They are both pretty, with different color markings. They sure produce a lot of babies. It was nice to have some one in the hobby help you. I bet the camera lady enjoys a break from counting sling's to feed the assasian bug's. They sure like to be hand fed. Cindy
Many thanks
You finally did it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing critters love the fact your always learning , got to be honest in this hobby I’ve had lots of help from people and everyone have been nice including yourself.
James we are always here to help if we can and theres always new things to learn 👍👍
My P horrida just bred and I have just into the teens of babies so far!!! So excited! I love them!
I'm doing a little experiment with the babies. I'm keeping these 13 or so seperate from the adults, and any more that hatch will stay with the adults, and I'm going to see which do better.
What does it look like? Which one is better off?
Hello great video update Dave
Cheers buddy 👍👍
Yay! Congrats Dave! You’ve finally cracked it. The adults creep me out but the babies are so pretty!
You can tell he’s really into the assassin bugs lol
Beautiful animals! 😍😍😍
Thank you 👍
Amazing vid and brill colours ...
They are gorgeous in the flesh too 👍
Very informational.i just got 10. Of these.a few adults. Juveniles and babies.i learned quit a few tips from your vid. I keep tarantulas also but these are much more fun to watch because they are more active
Loving the content, very glad I found your channel.
Welcome im glad your enjoying the content 👍
Nice to see pal
They're awesome! Well done :-)
I'm kinda tempted but I need to concentrate on my isopods, plus I'd need to gently persuade Mr A before I take on any new species.
Be a devil and try some you know you want too 😂😂👍👍
that was the coolest looking egg
Hi Dave and Camera Lady! Repticon was great fun and a even more fun with my older granddaughter and her bf. Spent more than I should...lol. Bought myself a GBB 1 inch sling and she is a beauty! Also I got a lovely juvenile b. emilia who has a serious attitude problem, but she'll settle down soon enough in her enclosure. The i bought the cutest little Pac-man frog with a voracious appetite.
T.albo babies doing well in the incubator and I think I already lined up a buyer for them. He was excited since my t.albo is Nicaraguan species not the Honduran hobby form.
Repticon was not at all crowded due to the covid restrictions they had set up. Had to buy tickets online and show them on your phone at the door. Masks a must and time was limited to two hours. But two hours was just fine as the people didn't push or shove and the number of people was only about 75 or so. And it was a lovely day as well.
Be well you two and be safe.
Sounds like you had a magic time with some great new additions too, so pleased your T.albos are doing well stay safe my friend ❤️
Such a bunch of babies. That was wild. Congrats on them.
They are so awesome dave
Fantastic aint they 👍
Ya they are
Great video as usual ! ❤️ for bugs
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
If you want to see them fly Dave... Turn all the lights off on a hot summer's night and give it an hour or so... They will fly around all over the place. They make quite a racket as they all fly around like attack helicopters for hours on end! Enjoy :)
Feeding time was so cool!
Its the best bit about keeping them 👍
So cool! I had never considered keeping these - I should consider getting some!
Give me a shout if you need some 😂👍
@@daveslittlebeasties I'm not sure what shipping to the US would cost, or if there isn't some law against the International Transportation of Assassin Bugs. But if I can afford them without breaking a law or anything, yeah, I'd love some!
@@brianlindsay9097 Dam I didn't see you was in the US thats a shame but im sure you could find some locally 👍👍
Great Vid Dave thanks mate
Thanks for watching my friend 👍
Wow.... They're so cool! The way they go for the food was amazing to see! Great Video man 🤙
They have a great feeding response 👍
I went to local pet store today and person who works there handed me one nymph. He doesn’t want it, my lucky day. I am definitely considering getting it some friends. The substrate it came with is pretty damp so we will rehouse it in the morning. Good video, thanks for the info!
Great video Dave they are awesome I've been thinking of getting some for sometime.thanks for sharing.
we have loads mate you can message me on. Facebook if you want some facebook.com/Daveslittlebeasties/
Lovely. Just won a starter colony of these and they look like a whole world of fun. Cant wait to get them and setup their enclosure.
Thanks as always Dave
They are really fun to keep and you can do a lovely setup for them too
Did you win the ones on Mitch's stream mate?
@@themantisgarden No I didn't
@@themantisgarden I did win assassin bugs but haven’t had any contact from whoever the donator was. Mitch was checking it out I believe.
Dave ur the best awesome man !!! Thank you so much for ur knowledge and videos of the insect alien awesom world
Oh I love them! I'm going to a local reptile expo next month here in the US and maybe I'll see some. If not, maybe I'll get some some day. Would love to see what we have.
Just catching up on this report, Dave. Congratulations! Brilliant solution -- have adopted the method myself. Cheers. -- Jim
Excellent!
Wonderful closing comment about cooperation with the community.
The horrida can take adult hissers. Glad to see your success.
Not so sure of that my adult stirmi has her work cut out with them , they are about 3 times bigger than my Horridas😂😂😂😂
@@daveslittlebeasties what the assassins do is penetrate the soft points, this was documented by Orin McMonigle in his book, Assassin Bugs, Waterscorpions, and Other Hemiptera: Reproductive Biology and Laboratory Culture Methods.
I personally couldn't feed hissers off, they are too cute
@@periplanetamissionary I have that book too 👍👍👍
Words of wisdom Dave
Enjoy your videos Dave
Wow! That’s a lot 😍
More than we ever expected 👍
Nice video Dave, im gonna look where they sell those in europe :-D
Well worth getting some mate 👍
These insects might be the strangest in design when it comes to how they feed. Literally a spear like appendage with a vacuum attachment. Brilliant. Although the adults can be rather clumsy and humorous.
You dont want to be the insect that gets caught thats for sure, first you get parralised then they turn your insides into a milkshake and suck it up lol
That feeding at 16:20 reminds me of Alf waiting for someone to feed him a cat. lol
Oh! My goodness!!! We loved Alf. Good times.
Seriously enjoyed this video, gotto get me some of them! Too bad you can't post to the US
The Southern California red assassin bug loves sun bathing , I notice at my local nature walk park on sunrise and sunset they’ll be on the cement or rocks at the warmest times , maybe a tiny heat rock or heat lamp might help them thrive .
You are going to get me in trouble with my wife because now I want Assassin bugs lol keep up the great work
Every home should have some mate 😂😂👍
Awesome buddy
How did I miss this video? Can't believe I missed this one
Love it
very kool
💚💚💚 👈👈👈 These are jealousy green hearts 😂😂😂
No need mate I would share some with you if I could 😂👍👍👍
WOW, now i need these bugs!!!
love it
Nice one buddy loads and loads now 😁😁😁😁😁
Oh yeah!
Arwwww soooooooo oooooo cute! I'm in the UK buddy I'm sooooo interested in purchasing a few of these 😁
You can message me through Facebook facebook.com/Daveslittlebeasties/
If only I had the money and equipment to get some, maybe in a few months lol.
There well worth getting and not expensive 👍
I think you'd enjoy those Wheel Assassin Bugs (Arilus cristatus)
I set mines up in a container bin like roaches and they are breeding like crazy
Ooo there so cute 😍
You need your own show!
Hello Dave
🔥
The bark in the white spot nursery looks like sloth from The Goonies
When it comes to assasinbugs u really just need to wait :). been breeding them for year
Ahhhh i saw a baby in the cup before you dumped it. 8:13 or was i seeing things?
Your seeing things 😂😂😂I hope 😂❤️👍
Looked like two to me!
Brilliant videos dave injoy them alot can I ask have you got plans to do a room tour of all your animals you keep ,
Maybe we could do a tour 😂😂👍
Brilliant look forward to that from ya dave ,loving the channel took alot of tips and put them in my own t room ,havnt found a hot spot yet for me mose I will tho brilliant tarantula channel defo top in uk thanks
@@ashpm8240 Thanks buddy really appreciate your support 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties ya welcome dave ,,
In the future, could you do some kind of setup where you are able to have a piece of bark for the hatchlings to start to grab on to, then move it to the new deli cup? Perhaps a temp deli cup over the cup where they hatch. That make any sense? lol
Good idea 👍👍👍
Really enjoyed that Dave,just got my first five white spot nymphs.i ordered some brown silent crickets.they are between 2-6 millimetres.do think the nymphs can handle them or should I just get fruit flies?
They will be ok for them 👍
but first like hehe😣
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Alright Dave we got 8 assassin bugs from you Approx 1 year ago we have only 3 of them left but we looked in on them today & we have approx 12 baby assassin bugs now so we are buzzing
Thats awesome mate 👍
Assassin bugs fascinate me totally.the prey is paralysed almost immediately after the rostrum hits the mark!✌️
If you like assassin bugs you might also like Arilus cristatus common name wheel bug they look like they have a circular saw blade on their back very beautiful and the coloration is stunning
I googled the Arilus Cristatus and oh my goodness 😍 It's so beautiful! Almost reminds me of a mantis in some ways...
second💗
👍👍👍👍👍❤️
wonderfull killer
Epic
I always thought that the stabbing part was called a rostrum.do you have any for sale?
Interesting. How often do you feed them? Don't the babies also need water?
Ive had water bowls in with them but never seen them drink I suspect they get most from their prey
Ahh the babies are actually cute looking? Are they venomous? I love your channel! 😃
Yes they are
Hi I’ve got some assassin bugs that have just had babies can I leave them all together with the adults or have they got to be separated? Love your channel 👍
No you can leave them all together they should be fine as long as theres plenty of food 😂👍
@@daveslittlebeasties thanks Dave 👍 keep up the great work love watching your channel
what size tanks are those, where can I find them?
So what do you do with them?
Omg look at all of them that’s insane how many eggs per female?
I dont know but a LOT 😂😂😂
My only question is setting them up terrestrially, are you still providing spots for them to free hang when molting?
They will moult off the bark provided 👍
