I can try to get some of green banana roaches and isopods. Isopods aren't a common feeder but my mantises seem to like them. Green banana roaches also aren't super popular but my mantises love them and they are more attractive, so more fun to keep. Let me know if you would like either.

Be careful with grabbing images from Bing. Most are protected by copyright. Would be better to use photos from members here with explicit permission. I would hate to see someone make a claim against you or force you to stop making the book.

Ugh yeah, better use only pics from us. That is safe. ppl can ask very high prizes for use of pics if they discover you use them in your book.🤔 I have seen it on TV

When I used to do Youtube as a part-time job it was a constant problem. If 10 seconds of a song played on the radio in the background of a video, you would lose monetization rights. Many channels got shut down due to copyright strikes. The other option is to find images that give permission on the website, but they usually only permit use for non-commercial purposes. If there is an image you really want on Bing, it may also be worth reaching out to the owner of the image through their website. Most of those are from hobbyists and I think most would give permission for credit.

Those pics would be great!

Thabks for the warning! I thought that so I was trying to get ones that said royalty free on them but I am wondering if you all think getting a few off Wikipedia would matter as long as I credit Wikipedia in the credits? Not so much for this book especially but I am also working on one for raising a bearded dragon and my pics are kinda poor quality compared to WIKIPedia but I will just use mine if it is too much of a risk!

Thats terrible! Will remember that so I dont make that mistake if I ever have a YouTube channel!

I will definitely look into asking for permission. 

Also, if I recommend a certain company for a certain product can I ask for royaltys to include in my book? Not that I really am going to do that in this perticular one, but for future reference 😃

You can always ask. It would generally be called a Sponsorship Agreement, where the company would pay $X per book sold or a flat fee. It happens in many types of media, but most larger companies are unwilling to deal with unknown people. You could always send an email to see if they would be interested in sponsoring you. Worst thing they can do is say no. The main pitfall in those types of situations is the possibility of losing credibility. When you are getting paid to recommend a product, people assume that is the only reason you are recommending the product. If it were me, I would do as Orin did and reference products without sponsorship. The few times I did sponsored videos I would make very clear that they were sponsored to maintain some trust with the consumer.

Sorry I didn't get you feeder pics, I've been a little sidetracked lately and my dad won't use his camera to take pics of the roaches because he hates them!

 If your not on this list, but you have sent me pictures for the book please PM me and I will add you on! If your not in this list then your not in the book either (because I read names out of the book to create this list) and I want to make sure everyone gets proper credits in the book so please make sure you are in the list if you provided any pictures to me! Thanks!
