I recently found a large number of incredibly big, black earwigs at a park here in Florida, gathered them up and put them all together in a container with soil, feeding them on fish flakes which they seem to love.
Anyhow, I didn't even realize that the largest female was systematically mutilating and devouring all the rest, and I guess she was just an overprotective mama, because the enclosure is utterly teeming with nymphs! They're so incredibly active and just adorable in the way they run around and investigate everything.
I'm hoping I can raise them all and I'd like to collect even more, but I figure I need a much larger tank to avoid the territorial conflicts. Anyone have any experience with them? Any tips?
