Roachforum's place as the oldest continuously running forum will be coming to an abrupt end at the end of the month. I thank so may contributors over the years including many who have died. Especially thanks to Peter Clausen for keeping it running for many years. If you want any content please...

  Rhinoceros roaches only have babies once a year around November Australia. In captivity they also only give birth once a year, not seldom once or twice in a lifetime even if the female lives eight or ten years total (total lifespan for some dozens and a few...

This species has been around since 2018 but still no real identification on it though T. rotundatus (though it is not that species) is floated around. It seems really easy but is still one of the rarest isopods and pretty pricey.

These beetle breeding items are things you never see in the US (we just see the beetle jellies, holders, splitters and a few things) and some like the anti-mite bedding sound a little dangerous. I think the special substrate water is just water? Anybody use the orange gel beads or pellets?

Roachforum is the oldest of the existing invertebrate forums. Thanks to every member and especially Peter of BIC for keeping it alive. The costs and competing groups that come and go could easily have fizzled it out without such support.

First time ever available in electronic format. Available through Coachwhip Books https://coachwhip.com/collections/invertebrate-pets/products/invertebrates-magazine-2001-2002 there are dozens of cockroach articles and features.

December 2020 Invertebrates Magazine Issue This issue we begin with a relative freshman to Pachnoda culture introduced to us by Hes of Sklipkan arthropod magazine fame (sklipkan means spider, or more specifically tarantula, in the Czech Republic). Next, we look at culturing a pretty, little...
