Dang it, why can't I edit?

Oh yeah, I got lots of isopods species and color forms! :) Here's a list of my Isopods: *Armadillidium vulgare *Cylisticus convexus *Cylisticus convexus "Pied" *Oniscus asellus *Porcellio laevis *Porcellio laevis "White" *Porcellio scaber *Porcellio scaber "Pied" *Porcellionides pruinosus...

Well hissers and dubias would do well together, and you could put some Little Kenyan roaches in with them as well. The only thing I worry about is that the mantids may get stressed out from being continuously surrounded by food, especially food that could grow to be bulkier than the mantid...

Ha, I've seen that commercial, cool that they live so close to you! :) Glad they are bringing more awareness to bugs, it's always a pleasure to see insects being treated nicely on TV!

Veey nice, hope he continues to live for many years! :)

Beautiful! :D Love how they look when they have just molted, so ghostly pale! 

It's a very cool idea, but if the ants can find ANY way to get to your mantids, they will rip them apart! I personally wouldn't risk it, I've seen first hand what ants can do to other bugs, it ain't pretty!

Personally I don't like keeping any two species communally, one could always out compete the other. Each species has different breeding rates, and those vary under different conditions, so you never know which species will come out on top. For that reason, and to prevent hybridization, I keep...

Welcome to the forum! :)

Ooh, very nice! I like to do sketches sometimes, but I can't do anything like these! Love your attention to detail! :)

Lots of roaches have little care differences that make it unwise to keep them together, the hissers and the dubias may do fine kept together, but one may eventually out compete the other. The domino and question mark roaches should not be kept together, they are in the same genus and they could...

Hah thanks, I was researching this species a few weeks ago, found some in my backyard, and have seen them around for years. Finally decided to identify them a few weeks ago. :)

Yep, and the flat millipede in the first photo next to the curled up one is a Polydesmus species, a common invasive species from Europe. It would appear that lots of common backyard bugs originate from Europe. See here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/97396

Anyone else having a problem editing their posts? I am on a mobile device and when I do what I need to while editing and press save, it doesn't save, it doesn't do anything at all. So basically I can't edit my posts now, at least not on my mobile device. I haven't tried it on my computer.

The thing is, temperature is not as important as the humidity in your house in order for the roaches to survive, if any of the non pest species were to escape from their container, they would almost certainly die in a few days. Your house would need to be extremely humid and moist for even the...

1+! You definitely should get into roaches, they are great as pets, feeders, even composters! :D Seriously, what aren't they good for!?

I hope so too, this species looks really cool! Hopefully I will be getting some of these soon as a birthday present to myself. :)

Yikes, talk about bad luck. :( Hope this next batch does better for you!

Hey, just wondering how are your Paranauphoeta discoidalis doing? Are they prolific?

Nice! Hopefully you'll see some more crawling around the enclosure soon! :)
