Geophilomorpha sp. something or another ..."soil centipede". They eat dead food ...they seem to burrow right into the carcases and slurp away.

You tempt me to go to the park to hunt for bugs.
Those look amazing. The red really is nice on them.

Hey Steven, any word on these guys? They have an awesome red on them.
Are they still alive?

Im pretty sure I found these guys in a cup on Steven's desk/table/shelves when I was over there before the party and they were still going.

i had much less success with these big fat red ones than the more normal gold ones
i had a 3-4" gold one that stayed alive for about a year and would get skinny and then obviously fat when i put a prekilled roach in for it to eat... these wide ones just didn't seem to eat much if at all and all wasted away
of course, it could be that i was offering them food at the wrong temp or something weird... but it was really annoying to see all three of the specimens i tried to keep waste away.
i wish you much better success than i had, as they are really cool looking little dudes
