nocticola vagus and larger invertebrates

[0rangmang0]

I am very fond of the Nocticola vagus (is this the correct name?) I enjoy how they have seemingly spread themselves to almost all of my terrariums and invertebrate enclosures. I initially got my culture from Kyle because I thought they were so neat. They were my 3rd species of cockroach and 5th species of invertebrate I kept as a hobbyist. After I got more into the hobby and began to read much more of the literature pertaining to keeping invertebrates I realised they could be a great alternative cleanup crew to isopods and havent looked back. I usually seed all of my fresh terreriums with them as well as new enclosures but if I dont they usually find their way in regardless. I am unsure if they are super effective cleaners but love to see them scaper around when I open or approach an enclosure. They also work great with harvestmen as they will snack on the small nymphs.
below is one terrarium with some unintentional Nocticola and a picture of a smaller nymph.)

Here is one in one of my tarantula enclosures. I do not feed them so hopefully they are eating what the trantula does not.

My N.vagus "Malaysia" stock has gotten into a lot of random bins lol, thankfully they seem to act like giant springtails essentially. Not been a bother to anything they've been introduced to yet.
