:Amazed by how many people googling for MUKADE were directed to his blog, he kindly gathered information from Japanese sites dedicated to those things and translated it. | :Amazed by how many people googling for MUKADE were directed to his blog, he kindly gathered information from Japanese sites dedicated to those things and translated it. | ||
:''''' | :'''''They come in two varieties, either the Omukade, where "O" means big, and the Aomukade, which means "blue" (there is also a Tobizumukade, but it is considered the same as the Aomukade) | ||
:''''' | :'''''The Omukade get to be about 15 cm (with 21 pairs of legs), and are found in southeastern Japan. This seems to be what I have in the house... | ||
:''''' | :'''''The Aomukade and Tobizumukade get to be around 10 cm as adults | ||
:'''''Yes, mukade care for their young, which are carried as eggs under mommies belly. The mother will nurture the young until they are self sufficient. I have heard that when you find one Mukade, that you will soon find another, as they apparently come in mating pairs. I believe this to be true, as I have found a pair of biggies within a close timeframe each year since I have lived out here. | :'''''Yes, mukade care for their young, which are carried as eggs under mommies belly.

:''''' | :'''''They are pretty much blind, but are very sensitive to vibrations (translation, they "see" just fine in the dark, when you can't!) and they hunt small insects at night | ||
:''''' | :'''''If you touch one by accident, it may bite you. If you get bitten it does hurt quite a bit, as they are poisonous, and you will likely experience swelling, redness, and possibly scarring. I have been bitten once, but it was a small bite, and although it hurt like hell (it woke me from dead sleep) there was no swelling, and just a bit of redness. However, if you get a good bite, you may want to go to the Doctor. Much like a bee sting, it can bring on "Anna-wears-plastic" shock, which is just not good for you. (Sorry, I have NO idea how to spell that, so you work it out!) | ||
:''''' | :'''''If you keep it as a pet (I actually found a link to a guy who does!), you can feed it "pink mice", or crickets. Apparently, a 10 cm Mukade can escape through a 2 mm opening... | ||

Looks like that nursery rhyme is ''exactly'' about those charming pets. | Looks like that nursery rhyme is ''exactly'' about those charming pets. | ||
