I've had an adult pair of L. subcincta for about 8 months now and an adult pair of L. verrucosa for about 3 months. I keep them both on 5 inches of mixed topsoil, fine cypress mulch, coconut fiber, and sphagnum moss with dead oak leaves on top. Every week I add a piece of carrot and mist one...

I'm looking for a small group (3-5) of the black morph of G. portentosa. If anyone has a trio with an adult male and two possible jet-black females, please contact me. (If you're not sure whether yours are black, my avatar is a prime example.)

So I've been seeing these odd little bugs scampering around in my G. oblongonata enclosure (all cypress mulch with a few oak leaves) and the other night I finally checked them out under my microscope. They're termites. I checked the actual substrate and it's loaded with them. It's a very strange...

Here's a little something I cooked up in Literature class. :P (To the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas") On the (#) day of Christmas my mailman brought to me: Some D. punctata with some Vaseline. Two B. craniifer. Three A. insignis. Four E. chopardi. FIVEEEE G. grandidieri! Six D...

Just got this species and the only info I can find on it is badly translated from Russian: "Small scale view of the family Blattellidae. Bad proliferate in the presence of moist substrate, convenient fodder for small object terrarium animals. Do not run around the glass." Does this mean I...

This "week's" RotW (chosen by Matt K) is the true death's head roach. We're eagerly awaiting Matt K's first submission. :)

Yesterday I went to the University of Purdue for a tour of their entomology department. Of course, I had to check out the museum's collection of cockroaches to see species I didn't have/didn't know of. After looking through the considerably small (4 "drawers") of cockroaches, I found many, many...

This will be the first of (hopefully) many cockroach of the week guides. Aside from it being a thread to discuss this weeks roach, specifically husbandry, it will also be the site of a weekly photo competition, with the winner (selected via poll) will select the next week's roach. Here are my...

The other day I remembered how many times genital analyses and whatnot are needed for correct roach classification. I also remembered I have $1000 microscope with camera attachment at my personal disposal. I would like to start a catalog or article, possibly for publication, on the genitals and...

I've been raising a large variety of cockroaches for the past 3 years. There's no better way to set up a self-sufficient feeding system than with roaches! P. surinamensis (Surinam Cockroach) 2/$1 N. cinera (Lobster Cockroach) Handful/$10 G. portentosa "Giant morph" (Madagascar Hissing...

It rained a lot today and I found these odd masses of what appear to be various fly larvae crawling around my sidewalk. Anyone got ID's on them?

Just got a package from him. Wonderfully packed, massive overcount, great quality. It's gonna be hard for me to match the trade value on his stuff. :P
