Where did you find the info on the interstate transportation of cockroaches? I don't believe I've heard of this before even while being intimately tied up in the roach community. The only thing I've heard with regards to things like that is the restriction from shipping cockroach species to FL...

IDK, I just gave the European a container with good ventilation, tried to not let things ever get that dry in there, gave it a couple small sticks, and fed it Nauphoeta cinerea nymphs and then I just found it laying on the bottom of the enclosure lifeless and discolored one day. 😕 That's the...

Up next is my most miniscule and possibly most otherworldly beetle species, your favorite pest, Mezium affine. :) Mezium affine Adults

Sounds nice over there. In my whole life I've only seen one European nymph (which I tried to keep and killed since I have probably one of the blackest thumbs with mantids); everything else has been T.sinensis.  For sure; it's easy for your house to get overcome with little "houses". lol 16 at...

Fair enough; those are also great aspects of keeping them. :)   Oh, that's awesome! Very nice to see some appreciation out of the younger generation! Unfortunately in the niche of the hobby I'm most involved in, cockroaches, you will only find a handful of people around the same age as me. :(...

Unfortunately, I believe that owning any roach species besides the ones that have already established themselves over there, is prohibited Canada (Don't quote me on that though lol). I think people often have that feeling towards mantids because they are more personable in a way with their...

Oh, the camera I use seems to only take its best pics with the flash on so I don't think that's a possibility for me. But it's not a Rhino Beetle, it's a Rhino Roach...……...a RHINO ROACH!!! If it was a Rhino Beetle and you called it a beetle, I wouldn't have said a thing, but this is just...

Thank you!  I know, but I didn't want to alter the actual appearance of the individual at all and don't know if there is a way to just enhance the brightness of the background. That is in fact a Rhino Roach, not a beetle, BTW. ;)  

Kick-off the new year with some Thai earth-spawn! 😛  Pycnoscelus sp. "Thailand" Mixed-size nymphs Recently-molted adult female Adult female

Why thank you. :)   I wholly agree; it's amazing that there's a hobby like this where people can experience these magnificent animals first hand without traveling all the way to their home countries!

Good evening. 😛  I've decided to start up a photo thread on my arthropod collection (minus mantids of course; I'm still unsure if I'll ever try them again) after finally learning how to share pictures easily here thanks to the one and only, @Hisserdude. I'll go ahead and get things rolling with...

Hey everyone! A few species in my collection have started exploding for me and so I've decided to make some available - introducing Gyna caffrorum, Symploce morsei, and Eurycotis lixa! :) Gyna caffrorum: This roach sports a very unusual color pallet of blue, gray, white, and black at...

I made an order of two Apeuthes sp. and a group of E.decipiens - he very kindly sexed the millies for me and sent larger specimens than what were on offer along with including two free beetle jellies and a copy of the latest issue of Invertebrates Magazine!!! There was just one small problem...

Haha, I was always pretty much into other things, I just didn't have the name to match. ;)  Hmm, I'll keep that in mind. :)  

A bit late sharing this, but here's a new post featuring a big change for the blog! http://allaboutarthropods.blogspot.com/2017/12/gone-with-old-in-with-new.html

Hey everyone, I currently have a group of 700 small Shelfordella lateralis (Red Runners) available at $79 shipped in case anyone's interested. :) PM me with any questions or to order. U.S only excluding Florida.
