I just did a trade of some Utrics with a member of this board for some of his Porcellio scaber woodlice for my vivariums. For now I'm just starting a base colony of my own before I start seeding vivariums with them. These little squirts have some very good press as a live "terrarium maintenance...

I was looking at Amazon and noticed the new model of their Kindle thing has a keyboard on it. This got me wondering if could it be used as a carry along word processor - smaller than those netbooks. Is there a typing software program on it, how about a USB port to transfer files to a normal PC...

I just harvested a few flowers worth of Drosera indica "Green" seed. This form is an easier alternative to the typical D. indica, which requires very sandy soil on the drier side. The green form doesn't mind sitting in water in a typical mix at all. The seeds require no pre-treating. Just keep...
