~Example Breeding Method~
?Lay about 5cm of Kanuma soil in the aquarium tank, and then cover with about 3cm of sphagnum moss. (The key is to generously water the Kanuma soil.)

?Provide water using a gooseneck bottle.

~Precautions~
?The breeding container separates easily at the top and bottom, so lift it by the aquarium tank part when transporting.
?If insects make holes, reinforce them with 24-mesh or finer Saran net.
