BUGS!

I am not much of an insect person, but I have a healthy respect for others who keep them. Your pictures are always fantastic, Andrew, you really capture them in a wonderfully artistic way. I can say, without a doubt, that is the most inspiring group of pictures of roaches I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

I thought it was going to be hedgehogs!!! EEEK!!!

 

[Irish Eyes (Mrs.Z)]

Yeah. Cockroaches. Hate 'em! Not nearly as cute as the hedgehog babies I expected to see .

Still 'n' all, to each their own. *grins*

I LOVE roaches, I raise Dubia's and even if I didn't have anything that ate them I still think I would keep a colony, haha

 

[MtnMan]

I'd like to get me one of those giant centapedes. Also Might get me a pair of Hissers at the up coming WVRE. What kind are these?

 

[martin-bernstein]

I've got two pairs of hissing roaches. They're sweet bugs. And I love when they hiss at eachother at night.

 

[AndrewH]

Thanks everyone! Yeah, these are Madagascan Hisser's. They're pretty cool to photograph. they didn't have a care in the world.

Here are some other exotic roaches I had an opportunity of photographing recently.

Ew! When I worked at the zoo, we had a huge colony of madagascan hissers, and a smaller colony of false death-head's. I had to take care of them, and it was hell! **shudders**

Roaches are pretty cool They don't top stuff like the tarantulas, or centipedes, but they're cool
