Does anybody know how to contact Dr. Betty Faber at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey? I was referred to her by an entomologist in Arizona but he had lost her contact information. I tried just googling it but with no avail. If you have info you can always PM me too... Thanks for any info...

While browsing a book entitled Cockroach, by Marion Copeland I found this picture (attached). I went and scanned it with the schools scanner. It says it's a Madagascan hissing cockroach, and indeed it looks like one. I noticed however that the front tibia seemed to be spined like a sand roach...

Does anybody know of a source for identification of cockroaches in the western United States (web resource, dichotomous key, et cetera)? I’m also looking for one that gives Polyphagidae information, if there’s other stuff with it that’s great too. I have already looked at “The Grasshoppers...

Question Orin...If they are such a common species to have (or maybe not; I don't know) then why has nobody identified it yet? Just curious.

I have a question. In the past when I've had roaches I always just used to let nature take its course so to say. I never really did any selective breeding or whatever. In nonwinged, variable sized species (Hissers more precisely) how is it you tell exactly weather a roach is a small adult or big...

Was Gromphadorhina laevigata changed to Elliptorhina laevigata or is is really a seperate distinct species that exists? Found in "American Insects: A Handbook of the Insects of America North of Mexico". I just wanted to know.

I am interested in purchasing a book on cockroach biology, here's some I've found: The Biology of the Cockroach, Guthrie, D.M.; Tindall, A. R., Essex House Press 1968 Or Cockroaches: Ecology, Behavior, and Natural History, William J. Bell, Louis M. Roth, and Christine A. Nalepa, Johns Hopkins...

Does anybody have these in culture, a picture, or at least a common name? The only info I can really find on them is phylogenetic relations and toxonomy.

I was just wondering... who runs the A.C.S.? Where would one go to find out more information about it, I'm just curious.

Hello everybody. As some of you may, or not, know I am a student at Southern Utah University. As part of my undergraduate research I am an assistant curator for the college's insect collection. I am attempting to create a really nice cockroach display for the museum. I am undergoing this...

A couple of days ago I got some hisser's from Roach Rookie. London's very help full, we had to keep delaying shipping for like three weeks but we finally got it done. The roaches were excellent, he even threw in a couple extra nymphs and some big guys (ones like just under 3 1/2 inches, massive...

I’m setting up a new enclosure and was wondering about some things. I have had a few plant display terrariums over the years and I have found that a layer of activated carbon (sometimes I’ve seen it as charcoal, but it’s the same thing) on the bottom to help keep the soil “fresh” and ward off...

Hey Everybody. I'm from the U.S. (a VERY small town in Utah) and have been keeping hissers (and various other inverts and herps) for around nine years now. Currently I don't have any roaches but as soon as I am done building my enclosure I will be coming back to the hobby. Upon looking for...
