Are any of you roach-enthusiasts having secure source information about the distribution of E. posticus?? When checking out 'The Catalogue of Life', the registrated places were shown as: Nicaragua; Costa Rica; Panama; Colombia; Trinidad and Tobago, Republic of (Trinidad); Guyana; Suriname...

This P. vanwaerebecki was sitting on the glass partly supported by the root. In this position it obviously showed all - including the feet. On glass the white pads (seems to be 4 per foot) are adhesive - and quite strong, one might add. However, they can move pretty fast if their mind is set...

One of the portentosas has about a 1/4" of her ootheca hanging out. At first it looked fine, but after several days now I am expecting something must be wrong. :blink: Does she need a little help since only some of it is outside or just be left with it to decide for herself to abort it ...

Which species are active in the daytime?? My Therea olegrandjeani (only the adults) are, but I know there are more. Still, I have never seen a list of species in the hobby with this characteristic? ;) Can you add to the list? As far as I have heard, Ophistoplatia orientalis should also be...

Just got a small culture in Germany of this exiting and beautiful species. Are you caring for yours the same way as big brother Gromphadorhina?? I am asking because they do not seem to enjoy vegetables and fruit as much as the mixed dry dog food, that they were sold with. Are the nymphs red...

Some cockroach enthusiasts here in Denmark experimented with a barrier using voltage from a battery to keep the climbing roaches in. Because of the good contact they have with the surface the cockroaches would feel a low voltage when they stepped on two electrodes along the tank rim and...

How much space would you recommend as minimum for 7 adult portentosa? Gender: 2 females and 5 males. I bought them in a big glas jar and there are some commotion (+ hissing) from time to time. Would you recommend a terrarium higher than wide because of their climbing abilities? I have a...

Dear forum members, Greetings from Denmark by an amateur roach snoop trying to sneak into your ranks! After having started like most by using roaches as food mainly for the spiders, mainly tarantulas, it has been inavoidable not to fall for the many sides to the roaches. So now I am housing 8...
