Bumblebee Millipedes are one of the best pet invertebrates. They are colorful, hardy,and easy to keep. They are also inexpensive. I have kept bumblebee millipedes for several years, and can recommend them as a great pet millipede.

Here is my version of the DIY bug jelly/beetle jelly recipe, along with links to purchase most of the ingredients, most of which you can probably find locally:
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon agar agar powder: [ Ссылка ]
1 ripe banana
1 cup of water, divided
8.5 teaspoons dark brown sugar: [ Ссылка ]
one teaspoon of honey: [ Ссылка ]
(optional) 1/2 teaspoon crested gecko diet: [ Ссылка ]
In a blender, add 1/2 cup water, the peeled banana, the brown sugar, the honey, and the optional crested gecko diet. Blend until the banana is liquified.
In a saucepan, heat the other 1/2 cup of water to boiling. Stir in the agar powder, and stir for 1-2 minutes to ensure the agar powder is completely dissolved. Next, stir the other liquified ingredients into the boiling water. Bring this mixture to a boil, and boil again for 1-2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a shallow container (such as a glass baking dish) to cool. While the mixture cools, do not move, shake, or disturb it in any way. Once the mixture has cooled, it can be cut up and/or spooned out into a jar or other container for storage in a refrigerator. It will generally keep for several months if refrigerated.
