    Perisphaerus "Jianfeng"

    Today I received this on the mail and my jaw just dropped.  1 female of Perisphaerus sp. from China, Hainan Island, Jianfeng Mountains. I knew I was getting a big version of Perisphaerus... But never imagined it would be so big.  The giant adult female is 26mm long while Perisphaerus...

    Diploptera puntacta - Pacific Beetle Mimic Cockroach

    Periplaneta japonica, my first Periplaneta species

    Yesterday received another 16/17 Yamato roach nymphs (Periplaneta japonica) from the same seller. I thought that 10 nymphs were not enough for a starter colony. So, lets hope for a steady growth!  One thing I am noticed again and again is that, although looking similar to red runners (as...

    Perisphaerus sp. "Macau"

    Today I re-housed my Perisphaerus colony into the same type of enclosure but with a different soil mixture (before was just cocofiber, this time i added up clay and some sand and peat, to try to retain more humidity) and a nice cork background.  I like how the background has some moss filaments...
