So I ordered 2x Phlogius crassipes, 1 Phlogius cf. papuanus and 1 Phlogius sp. "Eunice". Only one of the crassipes arrived but the seller is moving house so was confused. The next one is coming up next week. Phlogius is quickly becoming my favourite genus!

Anyway, photos:

This is the P. papuanus






The P. "Eunice"




And finally the P. crassipes




They all ate like champs yesterday and I can't wait for them to grow up! Interestingly, the crassipes and vulpina slings I have are way bigger than the other species slings. Maybe they're an instar further along?

Yeah the crassipes has webbed up a storm. My "Gold" slings also are webbing like mad. The others have webbed but not as much as the crassipes and gold. Wish I could fastforward two years!
