Perhaps keep them on a dry substrate and add a small species of dermestid beetle, like Attagenus? The larger bugs probably won't bother with them, and they're good at burrowing and hiding, so if you make sure the smaller assassin nymphs stay well fed perhaps they'll form a stable population and clean up the carcasses left by the assassin bugs?

I think I read something somewhere that people won't ship dubia to Tennessee because of confusion surrounding a species of invasive water flies that also has "dubia" in its name.

No, it's inside. They must sense the barometric pressure or something.

Hmm, next time I'm near the seashore I'll have to collect some of those predatory maritime earwigs and see if I can breed those.

I have a colony of eastern subterranean termites in a glass container covered with dark paper. They don't do much and avoid the sides of the glass, unfortunately- usually I only see them when they come above ground when there's a heavy rain outside. There's lots of secondary reproductives but they don't seem to have produced any nymphs so far.

Room temp is fine. They like it damp.

It's a lot darker and more uniform than most house centipedes, and the yellow spots are unusually distinct.

Your house centipede has very unique coloration.

These guys? I imagine they're probably helpful like other scavenging beetles, cleaning up dead roaches and such. But if they're extremely abundant and don't have another food source they might start going after molting roaches.

If you don't want to feed them flesh because you're worried about the smell, don't be. As long as flies don't get in and lay eggs on it, it will just mummify and produce little or no odor. Best to put it in moist and fresh and let it dry since the beetles prefer to lay eggs on flesh with a very specific moisture content.

Those are American Rubyspots, Hataerina americana. They're a close relative of those gorgeous Ebony Jewelwings that flutter around forest streams.

Aspen is one of the safest, least toxic woods around! That's why people recommend using aspen shavings instead of pine for sensitive animals that need a loose substrate. It can even be used in aquatic setups.

Do you think they'd pose any threat to B. dubia? I already have a colony (they're quite active and interesting to watch, I recommend keeping them just for fun) I'm just debating whether or not to add them to my roach bin which gets a little smelly when I don't stay on top of removing carcasses.

I want to hear people's experiences with them. Do they ever attack roaches? Are they likely to attempt to chew through a plastic bin? Is it a good idea to add them to a roach colony?

Wait, pure G. portentosa are pure black and massive? http://www.roachcrossing.com/for-sale/roach/all/common-hisser/

Palmetto bugs do eat crickets:

That larva sure has a blunt tail. It's like the insect version of a rubber boa.

You could hide them inside empty aspirin bottles or something.

Well, queen termites start out looking pretty normal and roachy. They just get REALLY fat.

The look very similar to the Belostoma here in the states.

If you look closely at roaches and termites, really the only main physical differences are that termites have large, bulbous heads and small thoracic shields: It's pretty difficult to see mantids as cockroaches too, but they really do have an extremely similar body plan, which is easier to see in some species than in others:

Carrots are good too, they don't rot easily.

I've eaten carolina locusts and various spur throated grasshoppers and I'm not dead.

Well, the toxins found in lubber grasshoppers are destroyed by cooking, which has been discovered by both humans and shrikes. Perhaps it's the same for those?

If you tossed that into one of those feeder colonies of portentosa/ oblongata hybrids you'd never be able find it again...
