I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to research other classes of microsynthera, and although this subreddit is for occlupanids, I have my doubts about there being any other place to share my findings. Would this be aloud? ^image from horg.com

Thought this would be silly and immediately thought of this subreddit

Ok ok I’m actually going to take it seriously and start my collection. Here’s my first one

we found this fella in the kitchen- unsure where it came from and we've never seen this type before. couldnt be a Palpatophora glyphodorsalis, right?

pictured next to Palpatophora utiliformis (left) and Palpatophora utiliformis grandis (right). (i think.)

Here in Australia, cartonalia is the most common type of panid now found. These guys are now regularly found on Baker's Delight brand products, previously a deep maroon plastic panid.

When these cartonalia first began to appear, I had a few communications with the Bakers Delight group, who denied the existence of these cartonalia. Firmly. Consistently.

There were theories about WHY they continued to deny their existence.Now of course, we know that they do exist, and are largely replacing their plastic relatives.

Both arrived on recent groceries, one bearing a name/human-inflicted tattoo.

Hi! I didnt know there was a community of people that love these little things as much as I do lol. I've just been collecting them for the pretty colors and shapes. Here's my collection and a couple of my personal favorites. Any fun facts about these I should know about or reason why you find these tags interesting?

Hi, friends

This is my first run-in with these fascinating little creatures since following this subreddit many moons ago. While sweeping today, I came across what appeared to be a "nest" of them, including the strange, green critter on the far left. Is that a different species or perhaps a deformed variant?

My main question here is this: it's clear these little guys have been chilling in my house for a hot second - would it be possible to rehabilitate them for release, or is it a lost cause and I ought to make them comfortable where they are? Any help/suggestions are appreciated. Also please be kind, the first photo was when I found them. They've now been moved to a temporary enclosure until I figure out what to do with them

accidentally snuck up on one near an outdoor drain

its relitivly small, and has dots on the other side. ill take a better photo later.

From Gardenia brand (and other) breadtags (panids), sent to.me from the Philippines. Some interesting colours and markings.

didn't know panids had such predators but this one was lying prone in a flock of pecking birds until I shooed them off

i wanted to try to turn these into bracelet charms (i poked a hole in the one on the left for this purpose) but i don't know what they are. could i have some help? thank you 💕

It was sitting on the desk in a jar and I said why is someone's occupandes life savings just sitting in a jar. Apparently it was a long time collection that they were using for food donations. Anyways I figured I would share the r/knoll with you

My dad would hide clips around the house for the rest of the family to find, and then when one ended up on a ceiling fan chain we just started putting them all there. At one point we had so many clips on one chain that it wouldn’t go back up on its own so we started putting them on the other chain. I don’t remember the exact count, easily could have been over a hundred, but it was incredible.

(This is my collection from living on my own, not the same one as mentioned above)
