Android raptor Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 This might be a stupid question, but do B. giganteus make a soft hissing noise when disturbed? Because I could swear mine do (along with releasing an interesting smelling pheromone). I've never seen anyone else mention it though.

Android raptor Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Interesting! Do they make the noises like hissers do through their spiracles, or they do it some other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkie14 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I'm pretty sure it's through their spiracles. I've looked closely at one doing it before and I noticed the sound came out every time the abdomen tightened (when the insect was breathing).

Chinese insect fans Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Can all the Blaberus make noise like hisser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes. It really depends. I don't think they do it randomly like hissers but when they are bumped by another tank mate or by their human, they will make that noise/noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
