Ooops! That's actually V. maculifrons. Nice queen though

When you set up the terrarium, try to find some of that good rotten wood that they like for nest material

Oops my bad. She looked similar to a picture of germanica I saw on the net. My bad. I guess that changes the setup for her?

Well, this species is primarily a subterranean nester so this type of setup would work best (which is the one I used for my maculifrons queen) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWfBf8NF7cQ

I hope she does too. She's lasted a lot longer than my V. squamosa did last summer... Maybe that's a good sign!

Hi, Vulgaris! I'm sad to say that Electra is no longer with us. Crying or Very sad She was fine this morning, I don't know what happened. She was lying next to her food this evening, dead. Sad I wonder what happened.
