Lobster problem

[MantisMan]

Ok so u will probably ask me, why do I care abt the health of 1 measly lobster roach? Wat if it turns into a colony-wide problem??

I have an adult with a pointy yellow thingy stickin out the abdomen and it's pumpin the abdomen and I think the thing is moving

Is a parasitic worm emerging from it?

Thanx

That's the egg sac and that's normal

yea, it will freak you out for awhile, I am still not used to it, it will be sucked back in and out, freaky!

Thing was it was sticking out the long way instead of vertical rows

Umm guys

The roach with the problem is a male

It has something resembling a maggot stickin out of it

I think it's its penis

My guess is its a spermatophore.
