ftorres · Jay Leno Show will be showing inverts on Tuesday

Hello All,

This coming Tuesday, my friend Brent Karner, who is the director of the Insect Zoo at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum, will be showing some cool invertebrates from a SCABIES member at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He was invited to participate to talk inverts.

SOme of my inverts will be there and hopefully make it live on TV. Very Happy

So any of you who watch TV at that time, please tune in an tell us what you saw.

thanks

francisco

Francisco,

I don't have TV or Cable, but would love to see it -- can you tape it?

-- Celeste

You will probably be able to you-tube it the next day.....

Ronin

Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to watching it.

Hello All,
Don't have a VCR only cable but the basic one that can not record.

I am not much of an electronic gadjet collector

Can someone record it for us?

thanks

francisco

Celeste

We're all so pitifully "technology-deficient"! ;-)

hey, Steven is pretty tech savvy!!!

And andrew is SUPPOSED to be!!!

I don't see why this can't work.

cacoseraph

i don't even have a television at my house =P

Celeste

It's not that we're not "tech-savvy", apparently (I design interplanetary spacecraft for a living, for pete's sake!). It's just funny and ironic that with all this tech know-how we don't seem to have a lot of electronic gadgets at home (besides our computers). Maybe it's because we spend all our disposable income on BUGS!!!!! (And in my case, reptiles, too...) ;-)

(Or maybe it's because we're all too *intelligent* to actually waste time watching television???!) ;->

I do have a television, but it is just for watching videos and DVDs on (and my son monopolizes it most of the time). I've considered getting cable from time to time, but then I realize that I would never have time to watch it myself, and that it would just rot my son's brain, and I think "Naaawww... Leave well enough alone." :-) He gets to watch TV at his dad's place one day a week, and that's more than enough!

hey i'm aerospace too

just programming though. i work for NG

Celeste

Me JPL. :-)

... at least for as long as we can stop them from implementing that HSPD12 nonsense. (See www.hspd12jpl.org )

-- Celeste

cacoseraph

ah, my bro used to work there

i could live on that campus!

NBond1986

so Celeste, do you work out of La Canada?

Celeste

Celeste

So is *anyone* actually going to tape this show tonight???

(Not that it's that critical or anything -- just wondering, as
I *would* be interested in seeing it).

-- C

NBond1986

oh, so about 5 minutes from my house.....

hmmm....i guess I'll be first in line when you have P. metallica babies Mr. Green

Celeste

Aren't there about a half-dozen scabies members breeding metallicas?

-- C

Ronin

I don't think anyone has a mature breeding pair right now. In the future there should be that many. Very Happy

I have a ~2.5" one myself that I'm thinking is male based on ventral shots (hasn't molted in my care yet).

ftorres

Hello All,

My friend Kennethsaid he will be recording the show.

Celeste, I love La Canada, If I had the mean I would buy 2 homes there.

Paul,
we will need all the males possible. Do you have any ventral pic of your P met?
I would love to see it.

thanks

francisco

lizmotobike

they are still running the election results and late news. Evil or Very Mad

ftorres

in a few more minutes!!!!!

cool I can't wait now.

francisco

ftorres

IT is on!!!!!!

everyone see it, there will be a quiz about the show.
Very Happy

francisco

ftorres

OK Cool,
So what you guys think???

I would have love to see more of the inverts but those few were OK.

thanks to all that watched

francisco

Celeste

I hope somebody managed to tape it (or it is available online somewhere)!

And as for my metallicas, they are both very young still. The female is probably just over 3" toe tip to toe tip when resting, and the male is much smaller (probably between 2"-2.5"). So it's going to be a while for mine...

-- Celeste

ogershok

I checked YouTube and so far no one has added it. Durn.

Ronin

Dang, missed it too. Hope someone will put it on the 'net/Youtube.

Francisco - I'll try to get a better pic of my P. met & place it on the ventral sexing thread on the TPS forum.

WBurke17

The T's or at least some of them where supplied by Chris (crazy8)

NBond1986

NICE!!!!

He handled himself very well, and spoke eloquently.

I really enjoyed that, and laughed a few times!

Celeste

How *fun*!!! Which ones of those were yours, Francisco?

I can't fathom why he would have trouble meeting women... That Elephant Roach in particular is a real "chick magnet"! ;->

frisco is kinda late ::lol::....

ftorres

I am getting old!!!!

francisco

ftorres

Celeste,
mine were the rhino roach,the mantis, the last insect shown.

He had a few others, centis,scorpion,more mantis,and some other interesting ones (hint Crustacian)

regards

francisco

Celeste

So the "chick magnet" was *yours*, eh? ;-D

Now that you say Rhino Roach I realize that was the correct name. But I think he referred to it as an Elephant Roach on the show.

Do you have a pair? Or just the one? And is that one a male or female?

-- Celeste

NBond1986

Celeste,

The "elephant" was the beetle.

The Rhino roach I recognized.....because Francisco brought them to my HOUSE!!!

I've had a celebrity in my home Mr. Green

ftorres

Hello Celeste,

The elephant beetle, I do have a pair.

Actually the rhino roach is know in Australia as the Litter bug, Macropanesthis rhinoceros is in fact the heavist roach in the world.

I have male and female, the one in the show was the male.

I have about 7 more smaller nymphs that are about 4-5 years old, and I recently got some babies from a roach dealer, that are about 3-4 months old.

regards

francisco

Celeste

Ooo, ooo, ooo!!! That is so *cool* that you have those!!!

Please keep me in mind if you ever decide to part with any of them or their offspring! :->

(Guess I'm gonna have to be nice to you from now on, huh?) ;-)
