I caught an eyeful of these yesterday when moving firewood around - the yellow markings on their back are quite striking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024382604105375596.post-58582664800902483872011-10-31T17:11:35.084-06:002011-10-31T17:11:35.084-06:00Hi Heather

It was a real hoot as you could see from the video-something real different for both Darryl and me.<br /><br />Your slaters et al. at wonderful shots. We have a similar one in the orchid shadehouse, with yellow spots. It seems quite small compared to yours. The questions is what are they eating. The orchid people would swear that they eat the orchid roots but maybe they are feeding on fungi and decomposing plant material as you suggest and cause no problems.<br />DMr. Smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081316465993172523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024382604105375596.post-70926416864439725152011-10-23T15:28:29.338-06:002011-10-23T15:28:29.338-06:00It's very cool to imagine those ancient isopod...It's very cool to imagine those ancient isopods alongside their descendants.

I'll see if I can round up some to keep in a terrarium for the winter, they might provide some photo-ops when I start getting cabin fever!<br /><br />And thanks for adding another word I won't be able to shake form my mind -- "conglobated". Most appropriate, although "conglobulated" would sound even better...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
