Is there a roach that: -Comes from South America -Can't climb as nymphs -Small, but breeds fast

What all kinds of leaves can roaches eat? I know oak and magnolia are fine, but are there any more?

This doesn't relate to arthropods, but I read on wikipedia that volvox belongs to the kingdom plantae. I always thought that it belonged to kingdom protista. Is this right? Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvox_aureus I actually went on multiple websites that claimed it was a...

Could you create a punnett square for the yellow morph of Gyna lurida? I spent like 2 hours last night trying to figure it out. The ratio is like 1 in 50 is yellow.

Found this interesting article about jumping cockroaches. Here is the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/14/leaproach-jumping-cockroach_n_1148591.html -not sure how old this is, but thought I would post it on here.

Is the black coloration that some hissers have a recessive gene?

I can't decide what species of roach to put in an exo terra 18x18x12. The species would have to be a non-climbing species and not from the gyna genus (already have a naturalistic cage for them). This is a smaller cage, so I am not sure what to put in it.

I have seen this stem a lot in insect orders i.e. orthoptera, hymenoptera, hemiptera, etc. I read one article that said that it meant wing or feather, but that doesn't really relate to insects.

Has anyone tried housing climbing roaches in exo-terra terrariums? I think climbing species that the nymphs can't climb would be fine, but I am not sure about both nymph and adult being able to climb.

Does anyone have any advice for housing Oxyhaloa deusta? Will vaseline keep them inside the enclosure?

I know this doesn't really have much to do with roaches, but why do some latin names such as Avicularia avicularia have the same word for the genus and species?

What would be a good size exo terra terrarium for Blaberus giganteus? I currently have an empty 18x18x24. I read that they grow slow, so would the cage get crowded fast? I plan on getting a starter colony of 6. By the way, would B. fusca be fine too (for that size terrarium).

I recently set up a terrarium with live plants that measures 18x 18x 12, but couldn't decide what kind of roach to put in it. I was leaning more to a roach from the blaberus genus. The roach species would have to not reproduce very fast (Blaberus discoidalis), since the terrarium is not very...

Would a 10 gallon be fine for a colony of dwarf hissers? I was planning on making it a display cage. Has anyone else made a display cage for dwarf hissers?

What kind of baby food do you feed roaches? All I could find was a liquid like baby food.

Has anyone tried feeding their roaches the tempations cat food brand?
