Description

These Libitioides albolineata (formerly Vonones sayi) white-lined harvestmen are not your run of the mill Daddy Longlegs. They’re in a different suborder and have a more interesting shape than the more typical backyard species.

These do well communally, preferring small crickets, but accepting fruit flies. However, I feed them fish food pellets and carrots which they nibble on and seem to be sustained perhaps entirely on. I also keep springtails in the cage and they will eat these and probably mites.

I suspect they live a minimum of two years since I’ve had adults for a year at times. Three years seems a reasonable estimate from birth to death. I was surprised to find that reproduction and offspring growth both seem rather simple. What a great captive species this arachnid is!

Currently available as large immatures or adults. Adults and maybe juveniles fluoresce under UV blacklight as seen in the video below! One of the most sensitive species on the site. Use express mail. We get in both darker and sometimes more orange specimens.

$8 each.

(Note: my youtube video below was made prior to the reclassification in 2023.)
