Just saw unique behavior

2 male dubia doing mating display and managed to successfully lock together and were stuck for 5 minutes until they were able to separate. I didn't think it was possible, now we know it is.

Interesting, do you have any females in the enclosure with them, or is it an all male enclosure?

All male enclosure, but I've been keeping dubia for 3 years and first time this ever happened.

Its not unique. This occurs in many species and had been noted for a number of years. http://psyche.entclu.../92/92-493.html

I have several of the various papers they cite.

I've never seen that article before, so I thought it was unique up until now. For the beginner roach hobbyist it would be an odd sight hope more people read this article too !
