How can you guys let these giant roaches walk on you?! 🤢 I had a very large almost adult accidentally crawl on my dress and I freaked that I had to touch it to capture it.

I have a male hisser in this colony I'm selling, I swear hes like bigger than an adult mouse. I picked him up, but get a little iffy haha. The peppereds and giant caves are freaking massive too. Can't imagine one of the rhino roaches.
 
Pantanal are pretty similar too, but get bigger. They're my go to Parsons feeder

I wanted the Orange heads as an "ambassador" since the adults are so pretty, and given their highly predatory nature, could possibly be a "garbage disposal" for freshly dead inverts.

I know Orin uses them as a means of euthanasia for critically injured mantids, I guess his colony consumes them within seconds.
 
I found stow aways.

I betting dermestid beetles.(at least 3, likely more) Well I think I can keep them appeased with the chicken pieces that the dog food comes with.

I have a separate dermestid culture in the process of starting up, im unsure if I'm going to deliberately use them as a clean up crew just yet.

Those are Alphitobius diaperinus actually, "lesser mealworm beetles" or "buffalo beetles". A type of darkling that can be useful as cleaners for some feeder insects like dubias.
 
Some of the species I'm working with ATM, had a much larger collection before I briefly left the hobby in 2018, I am still slowly rebuilding my collection. :)

Panesthia angustipennis cognata "Cambodia". Got ten of these beauties to work with, hopefully I can get a colony established! :D
