    Warning Colors It seems to be more of a learned trait. Animals will try to eat one. They taste bad and the animal then learns to avoid potential prey items that have similar colors. Like the way Viceroy butterflies mimic monarch butterflies. Or like how Pseudomops roaches mimic wasps...

    Why are roaches so expensive?

    Wild Grasshoppers?

    Wild caught feeders To be safe dont use wild caught as feeders. Use them as breeders, and to be safe use the second generation of captive bred as feeders. Seperate the adults from the eggs before they hatch to further decrease risk of spreading parasites. Its how our isopods were done among...
