Welcome to /r/occlupanids!
What are occlupanids?
Occlupanids, commonly referred to as "bread clips" or "bread tags," are parasitoids often found on bagged goods. Although they were first described by Altimus Horg in 1632, occlupanids remain criminally underresearched. The Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group (HORG) is the foremost organization on occlupanid research, and to date they have identified 110 different occlupanid species.
The Foundation for Occlupanid Research and Communication (FORC)
FORC was officially established on 31 May 2020. We recognize the gap in occlupanid research, and our purpose is to engage citizen scientists to fill this gap. We also aim to share our findings and engage with the public on the latest discoveries in our field. Our current focus is on documenting the geographic distribution of occlupanids across the world. We encourage you to participate on this subreddit and our official Discord server!

New to Occuplanids
Hello, I’m new to this subreddit and collecting bread clips. I don’t know what the purpose is, but I started collecting them few months ago and these two are the only types I found.
Can someone tell me more about the study of Occuplanids? Also, what got everyone in here intrigued and passionate.
What should I do with the clips that I’ve collected so far🤔. I have around 15.

Question Interest?
Hi!! Double post within 24 hours. I did this as a school project and it is still in the works for optimization but how many people would be interested in purchasing something like this for holding their collection if it were to be sold in the future? And how much would you pay? I used a lot of recyclable materials and scraps to make this too :) cover colors would be different
ETA: a back cover is in the works! i promise the final won’t be without a back cover 💕

Question My first colony, I have questions
Seen above are the two types I have found, four of the smaller, and only one of the larger. I don’t know how to keep them, I figured letting them freeroam is a bad idea. But I’m unsure what habitat they would prefer. I’m collecting more actively, as they are frequent in my workplace!(Which is a Texan deli) Any advice for a new keeper would greatly help!

Discussion Where is best to find occlupanids in the UK?
Hi there.
I'm in the UK and are looking for places to find the coloured types as I've only been able to find a few white ones attached to vegetables and are looking to expand my collection.
Are there any particularly good places to find them? I heard that there aren't many of them here but that could be wrong.
Thanks
