Author Hartmut Wilke
Swamp and water turtles have existed on our planet for around 250 million years, and therefore resemble relics from a time long past. This fact and their unique and sometimes very exotic appearance are just two of many factors that explain the steady growth of their fan base, which includes biologist Hartmut Wilke. He has been gathering knowledge about these reptiles for over 20 years and has compiled his concentrated knowledge and practical tips on keeping tortoises for you in this guide. This makes it easy for you to cater to the individual needs of your tortoises so that they stay fit and healthy. With optimal care, nothing stands in the way of a lifelong and happy friendship between you and your pet!

Bugs No. 04 - Ants in the terrariumThe cover story of Bugs No. 4 is about tiny creatures that achieve great things: ants are the gardeners of nature, pruning grasses, bushes and trees, guarding entire shrubs and ensuring targeted "pest extermination". But they also act as cattle breeders, keeping small colonies of aphids in order to obtain their sweet droppings. Caring for these fascinating animals is highly interesting and there is always something to observe! Reason enough to take you, dear readers, on a journey into the realm of ants and show you how you can keep these colony-forming insects safely and in a species-appropriate way.Table of contentsEditorialFacetsDatesFlown inCover storyThe diversity of the superorganismMyrmecia vindex – archaic AustraliansSnap-jaw ants of the genus MyrmoterasFledgedInvertebrates in MalaysiaIn the crosshairsThe rainbow stag beetleKeeping & BreedingLittle rubies – two Centrobolus speciesReportageExemplary arthropods - Bionics, Part 2Keeping & Breeding The Jewel WaspKeeping & BreedingHorse-headed grasshoppersKeeping & BreedingThe genus PsalmopoeusPotter beeHomemade lime source for snailsBook scorpionAlso in your neighbourhoodKids CornerA small miracleShowcase The master of the MantodeaService & ImprintPreviewMetamorphosesAutumn
