Mezium affine - Shiny Spider Beetles
Shiny Spider Beetles are strange little beetles that look almost more like tiny spiders than insects. Their rounded, glossy bodies sit above long slender legs and antennae, giving them a completely different appearance from most beetles commonly kept in the hobby.
They're small, hardy scavengers that spend much of their time wandering through the substrate and investigating food, hides and debris. They do well on a mostly dry substrate with access to hiding places and a varied diet of dry foods supplemented with occasional moisture-rich foods.
Their unusual appearance, simple husbandry and small size make them a fun little display colony for anyone looking for something outside the usual isopods and roaches.
