Do You know of any Glow "worm" insects that can appear in the american content other than railroad worms?
@PeppersnGlowworms Ай бұрын
Well, there are other lampyrids (both larvae and larviform adults may be considered "worms'). There are also some closely related beetle groups, but I don't think they occur in the Americas. Some elaterids, however, do. There is e.g. Phyrophorus and Deilater even occurs in North America. Their wormy larvae can glow. Among the dipterans glowing Mycetophilidae (their larvae are the famous "glowworms" in caves of New Zealand) also come to mind. There is Orfelia fultoni in the USA e.g. ... If we are also talking South America and non-insect invertebrates, there is a bioluminescent earthworm (Microscolex phosphoreus) that was introduced to other regions (maybe including North and Meso America?)... There are also glowing centipedes in Germany. I dunno, if they are also found in the new world.

Unusual beans to eat for small garden, i reccomend Caragana Arborescens. Syberian pea shrub and its a cold hardy tree with beautiful flowers( and even the wood, its precious like the finest, CITES banned rosewoods(fabaceae trait) , thogh small. For beans you want yo add the best thyme wich is called Summer Savory and its not the ordinary thyme from western europe. And another aromatic plant is the lovage or how you call it in Germany, the Maggi plant( the plant from the Maggi soup base).

Ich hab schon öfter Glühwürmchen bei uns gefunden. Ich komme aus dem Bergischen Land bei Köln und hier haben wir haufenweise Lamprohiza splendidula (glaub ich zumindest, dass das diese Art ist). Alle 2/3 Jahre gibt's immer nen Massenschlupf an Adulten Tieren. In den Jahren dazwischen flattern und krabbeln aber auch immer einige durch unseren Garten^^ Ich bin tatsächlich auch jetzt am überlegen, ob ich mir Glühwürmchen zulegen sollte🤔 weißt du zufällig, wo bzw ob ich irgendwo einen Zuchtansatz von den kleinen her bekomm und welche art würde sich da zum einstieg gut eignen? Was Insekten und andere Wirbellose angeht, hab ich auch schon einiges an Erfahrung und gerade solche "Spezitiere" wie Glühwürmchen, Ohrenkneifer oder Spinnenläufer habens mir richtig angetan😅
@PeppersnGlowworms 3 ай бұрын
Wenn ein Tier (in Deutschland) fliegt und leuchtet, handelt es sich um adulte Männchen der Art Lamprohiza splendidula. Nachzuchten von Leuchtkäfern sind selten und meist an spezielle Forschungsvorhaben oder Projekte gebunden. Kommerziell kann man Leuchtkäfer (meines Wissens) nur in Japan erwerben. Biolumineszente Schnellkäfer scheinen in den USA gerade im Hobby etabliert zu werden. Meine Nachzucht Sardischer Glühwürmer (Lampyris sardiniae) erholt sich gerade wieder von einem kleinen Tief in der Populationsgröße. Ich verkaufe aber ohnehin keine Tiere! Es handelt sich nur um eine Hobby-Nachzucht. Gelegentlich kann ich ein paar Exemplare für Projekte aus den Bereichen Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kunst vergeben. Ggf. wäre irgendwann mal ein Tausch (z.B. gegen Triops cancriformis) möglich? Ansonsten ist Lampyris noctiluca praktisch genauso zu halten. Hier wäre der Start einer eigenen Nachzucht (unter Beachtung der lokalen Naturschutzgesetze und mit Rücksichtnahme auf die bestehenden Populationen) mit einigen wenigen Tieren aus der Umgebung möglich.

@@PeppersnGlowworms Guten morgen^^ Super, dann gibt's bei uns die Lamprohiza splendidula! Was die Lampyris noctiluca angeht, da konnte ich bisher leider noch keine Tiere finden. Dazu muss ich aber auch sagen, dass ich nie explizit danach gesucht habe😅 Ein Tausch wär auf jeden Fall machbar😊 Da könnte ich dir auch meine Artenliste schicken und du schaust dann, welche Arten/Varianten dir am ehesten zusprechen. Z.b. von den T. Cancriformis habe ich etwa 10 verschiedene Fundort Varianten und Zuchtformen^^ Bist du zufällig auch auf anderen Plattformen aktiv, wo ich dir privat schreiben kann? Oder soll ich dir eine Mail schreiben? LG Leon

Hallo, die Larven Lampyris noctiluca fangen im Frühjahr an, tagsüber umherzulaufen. In dieser Phase kann man sie gut auf Rad- und Fußwegen absammeln. Wenn du nach "Lampyris sardiniae" suchst, findest du meine Lima-City-Website und dort meine E-Mail-Adresse. Soziale Medien nutze ich (außer YT) nicht... Klingt ja sehr interessant mit den verschiedenen Triops Stämmen! Wie gesagt, die Sardischen Glühwürmer müssen sich aber erst noch etwas weiter vermehren. Und dann ist noch mindestens eine Person vor dir auf der Abgabeliste.

You could have helped the lizard by taking it into your warm hands to increase the lizard's temperature. I have done this successfully several times during December with Common Wall Lizards. After a few minutes life came back to the animals and they were able to run quickly to a nearby shelter. 🙂

Normally, in summer, they dart away long before I manage to record them properly. Nothing left but a rustle in the leaf litter then! Now I found one early in 2024 in the same area I encountered some yellow sac spiders (or rather their web structures mostly) and wasp spiders in years prior. The site is just a little distance south of Berlin (Germany). It barely seemed alive in the cool moist morning of March 2nd... But a few hours later, the occasional ray of sun at noon had managed to get it closer to working temperature. I'm not 100 % sure, but I think it is a specimen of Lacerta agilis, ... but not so agile in the cold morning...

What's your usual mortality rate? I just started out with my first clutches from wild adults this summer. And suddenly had one of them crash from 56 to 12. Wondering about the most likely causes. I'm not confident whether I'm feeding them the right amounts so maybe just underfeeding? 🤔 Do you have any knowledge of disease they can potentially get?
@PeppersnGlowworms 3 ай бұрын
Most of the time, I kept the Sardinian glowworms, I did no or very little counting. And I do not have my old notebooks with me. But I would consider a slow loss up to 50 % not worrysome. I also had way worse and way better results. There were also two catastrophic crashes with near extinction of my breeding strain, that I have now since 2004... I suspect overcrowing and bad food (like wild snails that contain pesticides) to be the main culprits for such losses. Poor hygiene and high temperatures in summer may also be reasons. You seem to keep them in relatively small groups (i.e. clutchwise?), so I guess overcrowding is not the issue (also depending on the size of the rearing container, though). If you think underfeeding is the problem, you can just powerfeed them. Give them fresh food every day or so and remove old food also, untill they lose interest in food. Feeding them for a few days like this once a week should be more then enough. Back in the day, I simply kept small live prey permanently with the larvae, but now I think that may have cost me some specimens from being eaten by the prey when in molt... Are you keeping Lampyris, too? Or is it Nyctophila? Those two genera should do well with my methods. You have seen my main videos on rearing glowworms, right? I hope your glowworms will do well...
