Hey Petko, was super excited to see that hercules grub :D I've heard in Europe it is relatively easy to get 'flake soil' which is what I've been told is the best to rear detritus-feeding beetles on. They are also super stressed from handling as unlike some other species they aren't developed to crawl around on their backs. I'm sure you know all of this but I thought it might be nice for others to know. Can't wait to see the progress-- it would be a dream to have these in the US but unfortunately it's super illegal. We will live vicariously through you!
I didn't realize Hercules beetles were illegal... I'll have to look into it for Canada, we might be cold enough for it to be legal. Problem with beetles is the short life span, lol... so long in grub form, then so short as the actualy beetle morph. They were one of my first interests in entomology though, which lead to everything else haha.
@@leafwitheyes2473 true but jumping spiders I've managed to import... roaches have colonies which make them more of a problem where the beetles are solitary... but Canada is very strict when it comes to potentially invasive critters
The little mantids are so cute. 😊 I also like that green spider pretty much. Very nice that all new additions arrived healthily. Have aot of fun with all of them!
Damn those Orchid Mantises were amazing! I loved their colors, I honestly didn’t even know that there were ones like that. Now if only it was possible to have an enclosure with those Vampire Crabs and the Orchid Mantises, that would be a stunning and very colorful enclosure, especially if you were able to create one were the crabs were out of the water a bit more. Namaste Petko
Eeeeeek! I LOVE Orchid Mantids!! They are so beautiful and cute and I can't wait to see more videos about them. The new beetle and spider editions are pretty cool too and will be super interesting to watch in their new enclosures.
Petko, I got to see the little boy inside you, you were so excited by these beautiful animals, I bet you had a magnifying glass finding insects and spiders! It is so enchanting to find someone so excited about insects! I can’t wait to see all the little ‘buggers’ being set up in their new rooms! 🦎🦖🐢🐍🕷🕸
COMPLETELY STARTED GEEKING OUT AT THE ORCHID MANTIS! I CAN'T WAIT TILL IT GETS BIGGER! ALSO LOVING THE GREEN SPOODER! I ALSO CAN'T WAIT FOR THE HERCULES BEETLE TO GROW!! AAAAAAHHHHHH SUCH AN AWESOME UNBOXING! YES ALL CAPS BECAUSE YAY!!!!!
It is SO strange to me, I'm terrified of spiders, but I love your videos. I've been a long time watcher and I love your energy and your teachings. And It's so fun to see you get excited about these creatures. I hope you keep it up! Much love from Canada!
I love all your new beetles and spider's, however the mantis has melted my heart ❤️ Their first interactions with you show so much trust from the start.
I was at work today so I didn’t get to watch your new video until now. Great way to end my night and start my week, another awesome video Petko! I’m going to be getting my first T pretty soon and I can’t wait! Just have to decide which one I want to start my collection with. 2 yrs ago I wouldn’t dream of owning an arachnid because I’ve had arachnophobia my whole life but after watching your videos (and a few other channels too) I’m fascinated and can’t wait to get my own so thank you 🖤
Oh the lynx spider is just gorgeous! In the macro shots it looked like it was made of beautiful quartzes. Nice assortment of some interesting animals :)
If I had that little orchid mantis I would name it Bubbles. Because the first thing we saw it do was clean utself ♡. Beautiful haul ♡. I would call the second one Boxer because the first thing it did was attack lol.
Those mantises look like ALIENS! I really hope they'll breed for you. Also the green lynx spider is easily one of the most BEAUTIFUL spiders I've ever seen.
Wow that Green Lynx looks so different. Green Lynxs in Malaysia have a greenish yellow to brown colour. Smol story: I’ve seen a mother in one of my plants, guarding her egg sac for 2 weeks. After they hatched, I legit witnessed a massive jumping spider pounce onto the mother, killing her. The babies freaked out and jumped onto other leaves. Circle of life right there
Congrats! Beautiful creatures! You are lucky... I live in Norway where it's almost impossible to get hold of inverts. To make it worse, almost nowhere in the world will send live inverts to this country. Kinda sucks to be an avid entomologist in Norway.
Here in Thailand we also have a lynx spider that is bright green :) seems smaller than yours but is more brightly colored and they love hanging out in the plants. They can jump a little bit too when they're angry and that's the funniest thing ever 😂
This may have been my favorite unboxing yet! The orchid mantises are absolutely beautiful, the beetles are gonna be so much fun to watch grow, and I'm so glad you were finally able to get a pair of Nephila spiders! The lynx spider is super cool, too! I don't want it to be stressed or scared, but I gotta admit I'd like to see how it spits venom😅 Also, I read that some species can start to lose their green pigmentation as they get older, so hopefully that doesn't mean you got one that's just gonna die soon. Either way, can't wait to see what happens with these little guys!
It can be tricky to breed two orchids that are at the same stage. Make sure to keep the male in slightly colder conditions and keep the female in very warm setup so that she grows quicker since she has more molt stages + extra few weeks once she is ready to breed. On average the male lives for 3 months after final molt, but I had one that lived for 6 months so it's pretty random. Females can live for over a year once they get their wings so you don't need to worry about them passing first.
Hello Petko! Greetings from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. I have name ideas for your Beatles! John, Paul, George and Ringo! You got 4 Beatles and the "other" Beatles were a fab 4 too! As for your glass spider, you could call it Bowie! After the famous David Bowie and the Glass Spider tour that was one of his most famous! Congrats on your new animals! Enjoy!!
Good job Petco I enjoyed this Video immensely! I really like your Mantids, lloking forward to your Breeding them, they soo pretty :) I'm gonna catch me some Matids this year here in USA they are super cool little creatures, huh? Maybe I'll find some Jumping spiders as well. Stay tuned for more updates (lol) Keep up the great work. My BEST to Mia and Baby Erika
Yes, it is a Nephila Pilpes. Hope you give it a large space because they build large gold color webs, up to a meter across, with frame web "cables" up to 10 meters long. The male, however seems a bit large for a male, and looks different, males are usually reddish-brown.
Omg no way yopu have a green lynx :o sorry it's just one of my FAVOURITE spiders. Haven't watched your videos for quite some time and I forgot how fun your videos are!
It's interesting that the green lynx is from Madagascar because I actually find them in my grandparents tree in their backyard! And they are stunning spiders and they are so cool to get micro shots of I wish I had preserved it's body properly because the one I had died (from natural causes) and yet it was the coolest spider I have ever kept also love the videos keep up your amazing work ❤️❤️
Amazing animals that you got my friend....can tou tell me the site that you purchased them because i want to check if they have other species of mantids....and also do they ship to Greece?
I absolutely love your content. I love how you treat and talk to your creatures. Keep it up. I'm a novice tarantula owner. I simply wish I new the scientific names better. I'm better with the slang names.
Just read up a little on the Orchid mantids. It seems that youll have to keep the male colder than the female because he will mature faster than her, and will possibly die before she is ready. He is mature at only 2.5 cm and she is mature at 6-7 cm. Here is an exerpt from the atricle i was reading. "The ideal temperature for the Orchid Mantis is about 28 ° C, but you can vary the temperature between 25 ° and 35 ° C. At night the temperature should be at least 18 ° C. If you want to mate a male and a female that where born at the same time, you need to slow down the development of the male. These males should be constantly kept at 18 ° C."
This video stayed playing automatically on suggested from my channels im subbed top. I was like "oh cool dark den, I recognize that voice (I was busy doing dishes) and then I heard "man tits" and I ran to the screen and said "he said fuckin what??" 🤣😂
12:39 wow the mantis is so friendly! Immediately it’s like “lift me up!”

I know,so stupid,they wouldn’t become a pest anyways,if anything they’re beneficial!
This is supposed to be a good bug
@@asylumental but then again, dubias can’t live in the cold temps of Canada and they are still illegal
@@leafwitheyes2473 true but jumping spiders I've managed to import...
roaches have colonies which make them more of a problem where the beetles are solitary... but Canada is very strict when it comes to potentially invasive critters
The mantis cleaning it's toes was SO cute! 😍
I've been so excited for this since I saw the Instagram post, finally I can watch it :)
Mantis looks like flower petals, so pretty!
It is so nice to see your excitement! Your videos are so fascinating
The little mantids are so cute. 😊 I also like that green spider pretty much. Very nice that all new additions arrived healthily. Have aot of fun with all of them!

Can't wait to follow the progress of the Orchid Mantises! Wow so beautiful!
omg YESSSSSSS unboxings are the best videos ever!!! what a great way to start my day~ the mantis booty was so hyped HAHHA
I had a mini heart attack when the hungry orchid mantis went after the other mantis and continued to eye the other as lunch.
So cool! Loved the close ups
Eeeeeek! I LOVE Orchid Mantids!! They are so beautiful and cute and I can't wait to see more videos about them. The new beetle and spider editions are pretty cool too and will be super interesting to watch in their new enclosures.

Best episode ever. I really like when you say "comparisment"!
The Peucetia definitely needs to be named Rorschach. Congrats on the additions, they all look awesome.
That mantis are so beautiful! Like a little flowers. 🤗🌺
I have 3 Ghost Matids, they are such cool and interesting insects, Orchid is on my next list
Amazing, beautiful, fascinating, incredible…..thank you ❤️
That last beetle was an oogpister! And yay you finally got a nephila spider. They spin real golden webs
The bitty orchid mantids are giving me much joy!
I love all your new beetles and spider's, however the mantis has melted my heart ❤️ Their first interactions with you show so much trust from the start.

Got some neat species Petko! The mantids are stunning!
omg so much cool new additions, i always love the macro- action :)
Oh the lynx spider is just gorgeous! In the macro shots it looked like it was made of beautiful quartzes. Nice assortment of some interesting animals :)
Absolutely awesome video!!!!! Love that collection of creatures!
Those are the tiniest praying mantises I have ever seen. The coloration is simply amazing.
If I had that little orchid mantis I would name it Bubbles. Because the first thing we saw it do was clean utself ♡. Beautiful haul ♡. I would call the second one Boxer because the first thing it did was attack lol.
I am really excited to see the orchid mantis grow
Petko, I love ur videos - super idea to get these orchidmantids +Hercules beetle! I am super excited about how they develop and grow 👍🏼
Those mantises look like ALIENS! I really hope they'll breed for you. Also the green lynx spider is easily one of the most BEAUTIFUL spiders I've ever seen.
Love all your macro shots of your animals, showing us all those details we normally couldn't see, absolutely amazing!
Love it that you are covering Mantids finally *thumbs up*
Love your videos and am looking forward to all the new creatures
If you're wanting a green spider i recommend you look for Leucauge venusta. They're very beautiful and have a vibrant green.
everytime you said "autofocus" I understood "out of focus" and I found it pretty fitting ;)
the unsheathing of that box cutter sounded epic
Such beautiful new additions the green lynx is awesome
The orchid mantis is SO pretty!! I've loved them ever since the newest Animal Crossing came out.
Wow that Green Lynx looks so different. Green Lynxs in Malaysia have a greenish yellow to brown colour.
Smol story: I’ve seen a mother in one of my plants, guarding her egg sac for 2 weeks. After they hatched, I legit witnessed a massive jumping spider pounce onto the mother, killing her. The babies freaked out and jumped onto other leaves. Circle of life right there
Wow this mantis Asia in jangle🙂
Fantastic new additions. Can't wait to see more of them.

Nice new additions to the dark den, its been a while!
Beautiful animals... especially the mantis!!!
great micro shots . awesome to see!
Here in Thailand we also have a lynx spider that is bright green :) seems smaller than yours but is more brightly colored and they love hanging out in the plants. They can jump a little bit too when they're angry and that's the funniest thing ever 😂
The mantises are so cute, my heart!
Your New additions are Amazing!!!! Absolutely LOVE the Orchid Mantis such a Beautiful Species and to have 2 of them soo Cool!!
Have you ever kept the beetles that pray on frogs? Epomis is the name I believe.
This may have been my favorite unboxing yet! The orchid mantises are absolutely beautiful, the beetles are gonna be so much fun to watch grow, and I'm so glad you were finally able to get a pair of Nephila spiders!

Please do updates regularly on the Orchid Mantis please! I would really love to see more of those cute babies!
Yay! Monday video time! Makes my Monday!!
as always .. great video 💪🏼 greetings from switzerland 🇨🇭
I have those larvae too, a similar one. I got them from a fallen tree in front of my house, I wonder what kind of beetle it will become
im hyped about the growing Beatle video
I love those mantis'. They are so pretty!
Damn Petko, if I new you were in Croatia I woulda visited 2 years ago... Hope you have a wonderful weekend bro.
The green spiders head/face shape looks really similar to a brown recluse, minus the coloring of course

Great new additions
Omg no way yopu have a green lynx :o sorry it's just one of my FAVOURITE spiders. Haven't watched your videos for quite some time and I forgot how fun your videos are!
Awesome invertebrates especially the spiders dark den
Beginning of the video made me burst out laughing 😂😂

The ones you find are actually native,there are several subspecies of green lynx spiders.
Love your videos keep up the hard work.
