To us in the South, the footnote was not needed but the context is one I need to mark for first time keepers.
It this is indeed an aculeatus it will be diurnal (mostly) after it settles in. These tend to be one of the more desirable species because of their daytime activity and because they often readily interact with humans AND you can photograph with the regular lights on . The down side is their tank life. Most often these are caught as adults with only a few months remaining but we do have some that have been journaled for around a year.
I would not recommend putting sand in the Critter Keeper but would recommend releasing it to the tank soon so that it does not need to make multiple adjustments.
