I cannot wait to watch these things turn my garden (neighborhood?) into a lawless wasteland of death and partially-eaten feral children.

Did they put a Jolly Lane in Sturgis or did you have to drive to Rapid for those eggs?
Pretty cool bugs. They’re supposedly the only bugs that can learn to recognize individual people. Also, they will straight fuck up a black widow if you put em both in an empty Gatorade bottle.
Give a big female a smaller male to play with. First she gets the male to mate with her, then she eats him, head first! Pretty typical behavior, cheap entertainment. Nature is a cruel bitch.
Name of supplier??I cannot wait to watch these things turn my garden (neighborhood?) into a lawless wasteland of death and partially-eaten feral children.
Jolly Lane Greenhouse in Rapid City, SD is where I bought it from.
Rapid. My wife would try to live there if they'd let her.
While we are on the subject of bugs...
Years ago in N.Central Arkansas, I observed on a tall stem of green grass many tiny bright green aphids, up toward the seed head. The stem was infested with them. Then, to my amazement, along comes a black ant about a half inch long, up the stem. That ant stopped at every aphid along the way, and each aphid exuded a tiny drop of something liquid, which the ant collected/drank. If memory serves, the ant had an expandable tank in its back half. I was astonished to observe that ant was farming those aphids. Or perhaps extorting them?
Ants & other bugs probably really rule the earth.

I did that a bunch of years back. I think the instructions on mine said to leave it in the sun in a stapled over brown shopping bag. You know so the birds didn’t eat it. I think it gave how many days to leave in the bag. But let me tell you when I opened the bag a ton of them tiny bastards came out. Took a few years but they got big. Wish I had a picture of the giant one that was on my window screen late at night. Fucking thing looked like it could eat a humming bird. But here a picture of one of the smaller ones.
got it at the bug store in St. Louis Mo

They only live a few months.
They also are not going to survive a South Dakota winter. Their eggs will if they mate though.
I saw one several years ago in a parking lot. I got down right in it's face to get a good picture for the kiddos. I forgot them bastards fly! Scared the shit out of me when it took off right for my face.
I pictured you were saying something like this
