This species is fairly communal, if provided with enough hiding spaces. A good rule of 1 scorpion per gallon of tank space is ideal. They also breed quite readily and beginning to be a very common scorpion in the trade.
Mesobuthus martensii
is a species of scorpion in the family Buthidae. Its common names include
Chinese scorpion
,
Manchurian scorpion
,
Chinese armor-tail scorpion
and
Chinese golden scorpion
. Despite its common name, this scorpion is not only found in Manchuria or China, but also in Mongolia, Korea and Japan. Its preferred habitat is warm, dry areas with little vegetation.
M. martensii
can grow to about 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long, with females usually slightly larger, and has a life-span of about 4 to 6 years.
M. martensii
, especially its tail, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for many centuries to treat various neuronal problems, such as chronic pain, paralysis, apoplexy and epilepsy. Over the past few decades, dozens of novel proteins in this scorpion's venom have been identified, cloned and investigated for clinical applications. For instance, at least 51 long-chain peptides related to the sodium channel toxins and 18 peptides related to the potassium channel toxins have been described, along with two peptides,
Bm
K AS and AS1, that act on ryanodine receptors. Apart from having analgesic properties,
Bm
K AS is also the first long-chain scorpion peptide reported to have antimicrobial activity. Amongst the sodium channel-specific neurotoxins, there are a number of muscle relaxants, such as makatoxin I and bukatoxin, while
Bm
KAEP and
Bm
K IT2 have shown anticonvulsant activity in experimental conditions, inhibiting epileptic seizures induced in rats.
Bm
K AGAP has both analgesic and antitumor properties and recombinant proteins could potentially be used in anticancer treatments.
Small Cabbage White
(
Pieris rapae
, family Pieridae, order Lepidoptera) are one of the commonest butterflies in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Its caterpillars feed on cabbages and other vegetables. It is slow in flying and easy to approach. The wings are white with black markings. Females typically lay single, elongate, ribbed eggs on host plants. The caterpillars have no spines or projections, but the pupae have a distinctive spiny projection that arises from the head end, and are held upright on the host plant by a silk "belt". They are often seen in groups around bird droppings, urine, or puddles in sunshine. They are serious pests of cabbage crops.
Honey Bee -
Apis mellifera
The Western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a species of honey bee. This species was introduced to China from early 20th century and has been raised widely around the country.
In the temperate zone, honey bees survive winter as a colony, and the queen begins egg laying in mid to late winter, to prepare for spring. This is most likely triggered by longer day length. She is the only fertile female, and deposits all the eggs from which the other bees are produced. Except a brief mating period when she may make several flights to mate with drones, or if she leaves in later life with a swarm to establish a new colony, the queen rarely leaves the hive after the larvae have become full grown bees. The queen deposits each egg in a cell prepared by the worker bees. The egg hatches into a small larva which is fed by nurse bees (worker bees who maintain the interior of the colony). After about a week, the larva is sealed up in its cell by the nurse bees and begins the pupal stage. After another week, it will emerge an adult bee.
For the first ten days of their lives, the female worker bees clean the hive and feed the larvae. After this, they begin building comb cells. On days 16 through 20, a worker receives nectar and pollen from older workers and stores it. After the 20th day, a worker leaves the hive and spends the remainder of its life as a forager. The population of a healthy hive in mid-summer can average between 40,000 and 80,000 bees.

Tenebrio molitor
Order: Coleoptera Family: Tenebrionidae Genus:
Tenebrio
Species:
T. molitor
M
ealworm beetle
is a species of darkling beetle. Like all holometabolic insects, they go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Larvae typically measure about 2.5 cm or more, whereas adults are generally between 1.25 and 1.8 cm in length.
Mealworms are typically used as a food source for reptile, fish, and avian pets. They are also provided to wild birds in bird feeders, particularly during the nesting season, when birds are raising their young and appreciate a ready food supply. Mealworms are high in protein, which makes them especially useful as a food source. They are also commonly used for fishing bait.
They can be purchased at most pet stores and bait shops, and are available via mail order or internet suppliers (by the thousand). Mealworms are typically sold in a container with bran or oatmeal for food.
When rearing mealworms, commercial growers incorporate a juvenile hormone into the feeding process to keep the mealworm in the larval stage and achieve an abnormal length of 2 cm or greater.
Tenebrio molitor
is also used for biological research. Its relatively large size, ease of rearing and handling, and status as a nonmodel organism make it attractive for proof-of-principle study. Researchers worldwide, but particularly in Sheffield (UK) and Pusan (Korea), currently use this beetle as a model system for studies in biology, biochemistry, evolution, immunology and physiology.
