I've been doing some tank maintenance and noticed that a few of my more moist enclosures have what look to be silver springtails. They're about half the size as the temperate Collembola sold in the hobby and sort of flicker from white to silver as they move around and catch the light. They also...

Really, really want some of these! Purchase or trade.

So I thought this would be a fun thread. What unusual things have your roaches eaten? By this I mean things not on the typical menu. I'm forever trying new items and have had good success with:  Dole dried fruit snacks (100% fruit) Hardboiled eggs (including the shell) Almonds & walnuts...

Damnation Alley and Godzilla (2014) ... you know, because of radiation. Because all roaches exposed to fallout become Madagascar hissing roaches, right? 

I'm on the hunt for Corydidarum pygmaea, Opisthoplatia orientalis and Therea regularis. Looking to purchase/trade for colony starters (2.3.0). PM if you have any.

The first of my Giant Sand Roach ooths are now hatching! I know these can be hard to find so I thought I'd offer them up here first. I will only be offering 20 total until next year. Right now I'm just taking reservations/putting names on a wait list. I won't be taking money or shipping until...

I am on the hunt for B. giganteus females with no black pattern on the wings. Buy or trade... Send photos if you have one. Must be at least 3 days post-molt. Will pay a premium for freshly molted/unfertilized. 

Sadly, one of our own, Daniel Schwietzer (dcfarms) passed away on Monday from heart problems. I'm not sure how many of you had the pleasure of knowing him as he was a bit new to the forum, but he will be greatly missed. He was pretty young and his roach business D&C Farms was really taking...

I have only used 40% of my account storage space, but what happens when I get to 100%? Do I just delete old messages? 

Got some small S. conserfariam nymphs awhile back. Now that they're bigger, it looks like I have all females. I'm in search of one or two males. I prefer larger nymphs over adults, but will consider any size. I'm happy to purchase or trade for a female - or any other species on my list (below)...

Just did a trade with CodeWilster, and everything went great. I received a generous and healthy batch of P. parva. Great communication - very helpful. Nice packing job that got them safely from Phoenix to Michigan in the middle of summer. Would highly recommend! 

Looking for a good number of P. parva, enough to seed 6 hisser bins. Open to trades, but will pay cash as well. 

Just did a trade with Specimen24-6. Great communication, great packing job. I love the S. lampyridiformis I received, and I'm quite pleased to have found a home for some of my excess E. javanica. Specimen24-6 even threw in a few Dalmatian isopods for me to try out. Would definitely trade again!

A few days ago, I observed one of my female B. lateralis drop her ootheca and bury it. She picked up and dragged several pieces of substrate litter (including small coco bark chunks and strings of sphagnum) to the ooth, covering it. While she was working, any other roaches that got with her 2"...

I can't seem to find a reference to the person who discovered/named so many roaches and invertebrates... at least I'm assuming it's a person. I'd love to know more about them, but I don't have a first name. 

I'm just wondering if Megaloblatta blaberoides or Megaloblatta longipennis are available in the hobby here in the U.S.
