After collecting cockroach activity in my collection for more than a year now, I decided to make some graphs. Each graph is made up of 505056 datapoints (measurement every 10 seconds for 2 months). X-axis: hour of the day Y-Axis: Activity level and light level in the enclosure. Among the most interesting ones are the Therea bernhardti graphs. There you can see how the nymphs are active during the night, in contrast to the day-active adults.

Any Pokemon fans here? Sun and Moon finally gave us a roach pokemon with Pheromosa and it instantly became one of my favorite Pokemon. I love how not only is it powerful, but is also portrayed as beautiful and clean! It reminds me of a Blaberus sp. in particular, especially the coloring on the shiny version. I want to cosplay a humanized/gijinka Pheromosa and do a photoshoot with some of my caves.

I'm not aware of articles mentioning this, although I suppose I'm not the first to notice this. But none the less, it's a remarkable change in circadian rhythm. It also reflects the different survival strategy followed in nymphs (hide and not been seen) vs adults (look like a nasty Anthia sexguttata beetle).

This is great!! @stanislas the change of the circadian rhythm of Therea bernhardti (Adult vs Nymphs) is really interesting!! :-D ¿there was records about this before? This is great again and congratulations! :-D

hello. I have a cockroach pendant I bought online. You might checkout EBAY. You should be able to find something there.

Are people actually getting responses to emails at this point? I've been trying to order for over 6 months and put in a couple emails since he supposedly started taking orders again but am still getting the same radio silence as before.

i laughed really loud at the "dang emmett"! and yes thatd be awesome!
