Keeping them in Terrariums

[edit]

I have kept a couple of red-shouldered bugs (Jadera Haematoloma) in a terrarium before and I would like to say some things for people that are considering keeping them as terrarium insects. First off, they mate like crazy. Every time I check mine at least one pair is mating. I don't mind but to someone who wants to make sure that the population they chose stays that way you are in luck because you can easily see the difference between the male and female variants of Jadera Haematoloma. Females look much larger and their red bodies are more present. While males are smaller and their wings cover most of the red colorization. Going on, they will need many hiding spots. I use pine cones and a seed from a Koelreuteria paniculata tree, (or a Goldenrain tree). They will eat the seeds as well. They are very easy to maintain but you do need to clean out the soil and such at least once a week and you will need to mist the terrarium a couple times a day. They are great terrarium pets and I hope this message has helped. AdvilForAnOctopus (talk) 16:48, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
