My 3 domino roaches had shed to their adult forms! Looks like there were a few problems though. The first adult came out perfect. The second one shedded out with no tarsi and the last one, still has his nymph skin attached to his bottom. It's been 3 days now. He's fully dried and beautiful but...

My adult Harliquin Flower Beetle I purchased from Bugs In Cyberspace last year is officially the oldest insect we own. She beat Steve the mealworm darkling beetle by 1 month. I've had her for 1 year and 7 months. Of course, her dying any minute is to be expected, she's very old. But something...

Haven't been here in a while. I'm happy to report that I finally found a grape vine beetle! But I'm unhappy to report that he is growing more spots. They are black like the rest of his spots. I don't know if he's growing more spots or if it's an infection. It's really hard to see, so I just...

Well, not exactly sure how old she is, but the receipt said May 28 last year! I've owned this adult Harlequin Flower Beetle I got from BugsInCyberSpace last year for a year now. She's officially the 3rd longest owned insect we've owned and is the oldest Scarab we ever owned!  Not a good...

I have joined All Pet Roaches but I have yet to be approved - and I can't wait anymore. It's an emergency. Last night I found one of my new born hybrid hissers dead. And another today. Also, the wood roach went missing, I guess he flew to the top and squeezed through the vents, he's certainly...

Today we just found tiny little bugs in my niece's bug tank. Baby hisser roaches! Madagascar Hisser X Halloween Hisser, I'm sure. Other adult roach residents are a female beetle mimic roach, chrome roach(sex not identifyed), and a another male hisser, I'm not sure of species(large black came...

We have a flat backed millipede(either Polydesmus angustus or Polydesmus serrratus). We've had him for about 5 months and we don't know whats going on for about a month now. He looks like he's been changing size back and forth new dark shades. A few weeks back he bit and sprayed my niece. Today...

Today we had a great bug hunt in my sister's yard! We found jumbo sized slugs, super cute hatchling hokie millipedes, our first rainbow darkling beetle, and 2 roach nymphs(we kept the nymphs to see what we get when they grow). We also found a rather large beetle I've never seen. I was a little...

I sometimes have issues with grain mites. I keep food on a dish, foil, and bottle caps, but  my new rainbow dung beetle likes to drag her food in her tunnels and my millipede eats a grain-based kibble. What's the best type of mite-ridding critters I can use for my inclosure that won't hurt...

I own an adult Harlequin Flower Beetle I got from bugsincyberspace and I've had her for almost a year now(not exactly sure how old she was when I purchased her though, so I don't exactly know how old she really is, if any customer knows, please tell me how old their harlequin beetles are when...

And goodness they are tinier than I thought! I got them some where late November. They are so tiny I have to keep them in very small bug containers. I have 2 chrome roaches, 3 domino roaches, 1 death head roach, and 1 halloween hisser. All are small nymphs. The death head and hisser are the...

Oh boy, another problem with Mikey the Rice Beetle(scarab). He recently has been doing this quick bobbing motion and has been up all day at times. It's really weird, Mikey usually burrows away when he's out and I look at him, but today, he actually crawled up to me, like he needed my attention...

This is the second time this year a beetle "died" but turned out not dead. Let me share you the stories! I found Mikey, my rice beetle inside the paper towel I keep in the water dish. It's strange as he usually is burrowed under the substrate during the day. He likes to swim and burrow in the...

I've had my adult Harlequin Flower Beetle, Inky, for almost 5 months now. I know she's getting old, but I'm a little worried about her though. She still eats fine, but is more clumbsy at walking than she ever used to be. Leaf littler is the new substrate and I rarely ever find her on her back...

Oh boy. There's a crook in my Harlequin flower beetle's hind leg. She can still move it, but mainly remains crooked up. Usually crooked legs are a bad sign, their legs are weak and are going to break. I've had her for 4 months, which she should have another 2 months ahead of her. She's been...
