You mentioned in your article these insects make great housepets and I can agree with that. Each fall, before freezing temps, I bring in at least one, sometimes several. They like being put on curtain rods & high places & if I don't put them there, they will end up there themselves. Because of their large size they are easy to keep track of. I feed them crickets from outside and flies that are always showing up in the house. I have also purchased them crickets from the pet store. Once we have freezing temps for several days, the ones outside die so bringing them in extends their lifespan. The longest we have had one live in the house was after New Year's Day. They are extremely interesting creatures in the way they move their heads to look at you and wash themselves like cats.
