Hi, I was wondering if anybody could give me a step by step on how to ship live insects? Thanks in advance! :)

I am really interested in these, if anybody has these, and would be willing to part with some, PM me. :)

I just bought some Polyphaga sausurei and Polyphaga aegyptiaca, and have a few questions about them. First off, how long do the ootheca of P.aegyptiaca take to hatch? Secondly, Roachcrossing.com states that both species like their substrate dry, should i do a moisture gradient, or just keep it...

Hi, I have some extra darkling beetle larva that I would like to sell. 15 Eleodes hispilabris for $20. Most of these are ready to pupate. 20 Eleodes obscurus for $20. Most of these are ready to pupate as well. 5 Coniontis sp larva for $10. Most of these should be ready to pupate. Females lay...

I might get some of these next year, they apparently have been seen in ID, near me. Does anybody know how long the adult lifespan is?

Does anybody else spend hours looking at roachcrossing.com looking at all the roaches and reading about them? I think I'm a bit obsessed, lol!

I am a bit confused. In order to import insects from other countries, do you need a different permit for each country, or is there one permit that covers all countries? And what do you have to do to get a permit?

Parthenogenic species are all females, and they make "clones" of themselves, right? Normal species are males and females, and they need to mate to make babies. Males and females can come from different gene pools, so there is genetic diversity in their species. But parthenogenic species do not...

For example, the porcelain roach can have over 200 young per litter, what do you do with all of them? They don't exactly make good feeders, do they? What I am trying to say is, do roach colonies ever get out of hand?

I like the look of these, but i am curios about a few things. Do all species need a cool period? Do they all need rotten wood in their diet? And can they breed at room temps? Thanks in advance!

I have always liked this species, and i was wondering if they can infest houses, or do they just come from outside? Thanks in advance!

Hi, i have 2 male and 1 female cave crickets. I am keeping them in a 24 oz Tuppleware, filled with potting soil and sand. the female has been laying eggs, which look pale, almost transparent. My question is, should i be removing the eggs? Will the adults eat the nymphs when they hatch? Also, how...

Are these easy to keep/breed? I hear that they take a looooong time to mature, but I can deal with that. Do they like it dry or moist? Thanks in advance!

I caught a cockroach, which i presume is a Parcoblatta sp. It was immature when i caught it. It molted once, and turned into an adult female. Months later, i open the cage to feed her, and by the food bowl is an ootheca! I dug through the substrate and found 2 more. What i don't understand is...

Will mealworms eat bird seed? And can they live without any moisture? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I wrote on another forum, (Beetle forum), about my roly polys excessively dying off. They have stopped now, but there are so few left, and no young have been produced yet. I don't know if they can bounce back to a healthy colony, so I was wondering if I should bring in some WC roly polys to...

does anyone keep these? if so, could you post some pics? i am very interested in this species and hope to get some in a few months. and what are their care requirements? thanks in advance! :D

How do you guys heat your roaches? I understand that many roaches need high temperatures to breed, and I don't know how I would heat them, besides setting the whole house to 85 Farenhiet. Thanks in advance !

What kind of isopods do you guys keep? I keep: Armadillidim vulgare, Oniscus asellus, Porcellionides pruinosus, Cylisticus convexus, and a container containing 1 Porcellio scaber, 1 Trachelipus rathkii, and one very pregnant unknown sp. I will post some pics soon. See ya! :D

Does anybody know if there are any non-pest cockroaches in Idaho? I have been looking and have found no roaches in Idaho ( not even "pest" species! ) thanks in advance!
