My pair of Rhino roaches may or may not have matured recently, it seems too soon but after a recent molt I'm seeing adult coloration and the male has a noticeable scoop. Both are around the same age, being born in Spring (April/June) 2019 or so. Looking at pics the male seems most likely to be...

I meant to do this a long time ago and totally forgot.  I got started in late 2018 raising Dubia roaches for my son's lizard. I'd had reptiles, chelonians and such in the past but never inverts.  The roaches turned out to be more interesting than reptiles to me, and my son started collecting...

While checking my bids I thought to do a count of my Polyphaga saussurei, I started with maybe a dozen small nymphs and have had some slow die off (1 every two months or so), just infrequent enough it was easy to miss. On this most recent check I lost my largest adult and smallest nymph...

An FYI that I'm finding it fairly easy to make a gasket tub out of a normal Sterilite latching tub (like these). All you really need is some foam insulation tape cut into strips that fit around the inner lid. The foam compresses quite a bit so the lid is able to still latch closed. Waiting to...

My colony is getting out of control, so I'm looking to sell it down. Minimum 4-500 available but the bin is full enough I can't get an accurate count. These are very good eaters and breed like crazy. They have a mild defensive odor (kind of like a wet horse) but to me are otherwise better...

Hi all, I'm lucky enough to soon have two pairs of 1 year old rhino roaches. The two males I have are housed together since they are not sexually mature and are the same size. The two females I am getting are likely a bit smaller but are only a few months younger. Should I: A. House them...

Purchased three species (question mark and 2 species of sand roach). All arrived promptly and in excellent health.  Counts were accurate with bias towards the buyer. Prices were competitive, and selection is broad. Communication was excellent and my follow up questions were answered promptly...

In the process of acquiring a male of this species and would be interested in (ideally immature) females. Could possibly take a chance on unsexed nymphs. Let me know your price or trade. Would be surprised to get a reply considering the scarcity of this species but I figured it was worth a post.

I doubt this is a problem others might have, but I thought it was worth asking. I just aquired some Polyphaga aegyptiaca and they are really neat. Like many I currently work from home and have a large desk which is the current home for the smaller insects in my collection, as I like to check on...

Decent looking male, pretty clearly a hybrid. Didn't notice the upload limit. will add a gallery elsewhere.

Looking to trade the following two colonies for polyphaga or corydiid species (Therea regularis or Polyphaga aegyptiaca,), isopods, or stag/rhino beetles (Dynastes tityus, Lucanus elaphus, etc.) The two colonies are: Gromphadorhina portentosa (hybrid) - aprox. 50 individuals + at least 40-50...
