Can a helpful mod delete my attachments from my profile? I for some reason cannot do so.

Just needs a few more things, such as heating pads, some small amount of substrate, and of course proper ventilation.  And by soon I mean in @CodeWilster time. :P

@Hisserdude @Cariblatta lutea As the title says I'm moving very shortly, I'm going to bring the roaches with me, my question, is mixing all three species in a container going to work, I'm planning on overnight shipping. I know it's not professional but I'm short on time and containers. Prompt...

@Hisserdude If you don't have any Peripla- I mean Pseudomops septentrionalis I'm going to forever question your taste. :P http://bugguide.net/node/view/7856

So male, female, it? @Hisserdude Caught this rather large nymph, and figured it would be hypocrisy not to keep one or two americana, and since now the Australian roaches out number the US roaches, peace should be maintained.

During my short few weeks here I've noticed something peculiar. I've never once seen a Periplaneta australasiae adult, only nymphs, and my most productive spots to catch said nymphs are by palm trees, so this has me wondering, are the adults more arboreal than the nymphs are? (Obviously they...

Due to the exceedingly small, stingy, and inconveniently small, did I also mention, small, size limit, and storage space, I can no longer post any pictures, which is unfortunate, especially since picture threads are more fun than text. (And I have baby roaches on the way... @Peter...

My adult roach is behaving oddly, she/he/it positions itself at and angle and appears to be gazing at the top, every few minutes she will twitch her/his/it's body as if something touched it, but nothing was there, it carried on this behavior for a few minutes, then casually went about...

Are some roaches generally happier in small/large "family" groups composing of roaches of different ages rather than all similarly aged animals? I ask because after adding an adult American roach into the enclosure (I caught the thing in the house) ALL the nymphs immediately changed there...

Due to a collection mishap I managed to sever a good portion of a new roaches antennae and it's currently breathing heavily and not moving. Will it survive, or should I end it's misery? I feel bad for it honestly.  Well it just bolted so it may not be a total loss.

What do you guys think was wrong with this roach? Was it physically damaged in some way, or merely could not last in a house? I found it in my house a week ago, it barely tried to run, after hours of trying to rehab it, it not so unpredictablely passed away. Now compared to a presumably...

So what methods do people use to collect wild caught specimens? Specifically using traps? Designs and methods?  I generally just flip promising objects but recently started baiting them with dog food and orange slices to try and lure different species to easy locations for capture. To be...

It's been a very long while since I posted here. Anyways here is my first roach colony. Due to the exceedingly small photo upload size restrictions this is the only way I can show you detailed pics. http://arachnoboards.com/threads/introducing.294323/ I can't even upload my smallest pics. :P

Well some backround info: I friend of mine was trimming a tree when he accidentally angered a Dolichovespula maculata nest(Bald faced hornet) I was asking about the size of the nest and offered to take it cause hey I am wasp nut, and I wanted to see if i could keep them in captivity as far as I...

Its that time of year (fireflies) Well its that time of year the fireflies are out and now I am obessing over how to keep them and breed them in captivity, *This obession happens every year LOL* however I dont know what the adults and larva eat. Any insights are welcome, I may try rearing them...

I am attempting to start a small scale cricket colony for my pets and at the same time, get the cricket basics down so I can care for and breed some the the giant field crix we have up here. I designed the cage to gi Anyways the materials I used were an old 10 gallon tank with its gravel and the...

I woke up two of my dominulas for a twofold experiment. First of all I want to see if their hibernation period can be shortened without adverse affects on the wasps. Secondly I want to test out dominulas invasive nature and adaptability. The materials I used were 1 abandoned polistes...

I would greatly appriciate pics of your enclosures for lateralis and lobster roaches. This way I can closely model mine after yours. Thanks very much.

I am new here obviously but anyways I hope to endear myself to this community, I currently do not keep pet roaches but may start a feeder colony. I may try rhino beetles next year. Anyways I enjoy rearing Polistes wasps(Paper wasps) and also have three turtles, two snakes, and one 10 year old...
