Sometimes I'll bring a few giganteus to a local display or show and the odd person now and then likes to tell me how they saw roaches in Florida that were bigger. Of course they saw American roaches which don't even reach 50mm on a good day, a far cry from giganteus size. A little twist to this...

I never was able to locate a copy of the original description of Dorylaea orini Roth, 2002 because I lost contact L.M. Roth, I didn't realize for years why he no longer answered my e-mails. I was just searching something unrelated and bumped into the holotype listed on the Harvard Entomology...

I've got a nice older nymph for trade for expensive centipedes or Ts. It is a definite immature male captive born in the USA around three years old. I'm looking for a young Scolopendra gigantea or S. hardwickei or female P. metallica s'ling. Other trades might be possible.

Next to a quarter.

I was at the video game store to see what wii dancing games they had for my kids when I noticed a title called Escape from Bug Island for $4.99. It had giant bugs (though I didn't know there were giant roaches yet) and at $4.99 I had to get it. The game Escape from Bug Island is on the Wii. It...

I saw this at a rest stop in PA a few days ago. I've never seen a slipper orchid in the wild and really enjoyed seeing this one. You can even see a seed pod from last year. My daughter asked why I didn't dig it up but the thought never entered my mind. I imagine someone will one of these days.

Here's a new Porcellio color form from the same line as the orange Porcellio.

Many cockroach species cultures have no smell except if there's a dead specimen or rotting food but there are various species whose colonies give off distinctive odors. Certainly anyone can find these odors attractive but generally more similar to an acquired taste like bleu cheese. However...

I've had a number of veiled females and while they have some interesting patterns that display under stress or display, unlike the males, they stay overall brown or green and are a bit boring looking 99% of the time. This is why females are rarely desired as pets. The pictured female maintains...

I've received a number of different e-mails over the last few months such as the following. It sounds really exciting but my wife would never go for being made fun of for an hour on national TV. I worry they'll find someone who is not familiar with the actual truth (such as the study that pest...
