Gromphadorhina oblongonota

[Zaznoba]

Good day.

I have come to shop to buy Gromphadorhina oblongonata. But there was a problem: a lot of little (about 0,5 mm) Pincers or Spiders crept on cockroaches. i aksed a question "what is this?". Seller said: "This is normal. It is little bugs, who live whith this cockroaches in symbiosis. Do not kill this bugs --- cockroaches will die!!!!!". i don't believe this man. I think this bugs are parasites.

Please, tell me Your opinion. Sorry, but i have no photo.

thank You in advance.

Hissing cockroaches have their own mite, Androlaelaps schaeferi which is harmless to the hissers and natural. However, if you kill the mites it won't bother your roaches in the least.
