I am also hoping the get a colony started. Does anyone have enough experience with them to key us in on how they need to be kept? Like Polyphaga? or something else? Thanks, looking forward to hearing how folks did with them.

Is there any evidence that the disturbance of collection, or the breakup of social groups might have a negative influence on their culture in captivity?

I really want to get out and find these guys!

Here is a brief article about the "invasion" http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/high-line-brought-invasive-cockroach-nyc-article-1.1542222 Also, while we are on the subject....Does anyone recommend a site(s), or publications that would help me learn about the native roaches of North America? Bug Guide was suggested to me, and I am sure I will use it. But I was hoping for a more usable field guide kind of thing. I live in New Jersey, so even just roaches of the Northeast, and Southeast Coastal Plain (I take road trips to florida a lot) would be awesome! Thanks so much.
