Generally, I do agree that inbreeding is a bad thing, but I was told by someone that inbreeding in insects actually increases genetic strength. It had something to do with the difference between how their chromosomes are shared versus how they are in humans. Hence why with some insects...

Why doesn't someone try to captive breed the beetle? I believe many different types of aquarium fish which have long since gone extinct in the wild are thriving in captivity due to their popularity in the fishkeeping hobby (I know redtailed sharks are extinct in the wild for a fact; I think...

I was in contact with a girl from Japan at some point who did a science fair project on Drosophila larvae. She proved that when they eat they eat for the whole cluster of maggots in the medium by spewing out digestive enzymes to both break up the medium for the yeasts they eat as well as to...

As far as legality; Yep, you can keep him! If you decide to trade/sell/move him between states, that's where the issue gets prickly and you may need a permit. Although technically a permit is needed for moving any "primary plant pest" (which directly eat plants,) "Secondary plant pests"...

Cockroaches. That is all.

I have two species of Therea. Glowspots are pricey but for a reason; they reproduce very slowly and take a while to grow.

The list goes on! :o Eublaberus prosticus Orangehead Roach This is an excellent feeder species. The adult females hit a little over 2 inches, while the males hit about 1.5". The females can give birth to 25-45 babies, and can do so every 2 months. In my experience, these are more prolific...

I've got college coming up and I need to thin out my colonies. So I'm offering starter sets to help me lighten my load and help you start a colony! :) Panchlora nivea Green Banana Roach These are a nifty little roach. The adult males are about 3/4" long and the females are 1". Both sexes...

If you'd like some (I'm assuming any species will do?) I can collect some for you; They're all over here. Message me. :P

Ah, ticks. I live in an area deprived of ticks. I could go for a hike in our nature-laden woods for hours; lay out in a field for days and not a single tick would be found on me. Drive a few hours south of here... And there are ticks. One day while looking for beetles with a friend of mine we...

One of my favorite insects for sure! :D I just started breeding these (feeders and pets, tehe!) The moths are cool to handle and when you first see their proboscis fully extended it's a true "OMG WTH IS THAT?!" moment. The 'pillars are fun to poke when they're pre-pupal too; they look like...

Harvestmen? You mean the spider or the other arachnid with a single orb for a body?

Here's what I've got: Eublaberus prosticus; Orangehead Roach An excellent feeder (my favorite by far!), this species enjoys more moisture in its diet than other roaches. The females get a good amount over 2 inches. This species produces as fast as B. dubia and is far meatier. No substrate is...

Eublaberus prosticus, orange headed roach. :)

REMINDER. :P

The double-dot roach, AKA the bolivien roach. Pics of multiple adults would be very useful in properly ID'ing them. :)

I can find P. audax, which are fairly nice as far as handling goes, and do not tend to bite. I'm interested in native roaches (Arenivaga species, desert sand roaches which may be in your area, as well as P. americana, the American cockroach.) Shoot me an e-mail at: [email protected]

The adult in the background looks like Blaberus boliviensis; Did you get these from me?

I just checked on some ooths I left in my outdoor screen pen; I believe one of the Carolina mantid ooths hatched! Anyone who wants some, send me an e-mail at: [email protected] I'm letting them go in my garden so if you want some you'll have to hurry before they crawl out. :P Pick-up...

The ones in the ad are tesselata. :o
