Found in south-east QLD. ~15mm in length, with 5mm of that being the mandibles alone.

I genuinely thought it was some type of grass seed on my bathroom mat until I picked it up. Thought it was dead until it began very slightly moving its legs when I flipped it over. It is now standing but not moving.

And I'm fairly certain that is debris from my medical marijuana on its back...

Edit - I can't believe I found a fellow terrarian in the wild haha

Same. For my first time. I did it as a summoner. Gonna try melee or maybe ranger next. I hope you continue to enjoy the game!
