I have a female Madagascar hissing cockroach that for the past few weeks has been holding here exoskeleton open and pulsating her bottom. It looks like she is pinching her rectum(?). Has anyone seen this behavior before?
She lives in a large colony, so we're not 100% sure of her reproductive status. She also doesn't have a great appetite at the moment.
Thanks!
