This is Olive. She's a smooth death feigning beetle, Asbolus laevis. She's a free thinker, a diva, and very demanding. A lot of people think that insects can't have personalities or be individuals, but I'm here to tell you, from my experience, that's 100% not true. She's a wonderful little companion, and I'm very glad I ended up with her.
And yes, she has a tiny picket fence in her house.

@Mamapolo2016 I've had two of those! Their names were Bellatrix (after the blue-white star in Orion's constellation) and Janice. They both passed away recently, but they are amazing pets.
@Mamapolo2016 And think of all the ones we have yet to discover. There's so much diversity among arthropods, especially insects and arachnids. They're easily some of the most fascinating animals. I wish people would get over the fear factor though, and open their minds to see how cool it all really is.
