pannaking22 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Anyone have any recommendations of places to get dead exotic roaches? Not as much fun as having them alive of course, but I'm working on building a decent sized collection. It may give me the chance to get species that aren't even available in the hobby, which could certainly be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Lemur Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 eBay is a good place to start. They have some rather different items on there, such as cockroaches inside Amber! There's also some casted in resin showing various life cycles of some species, I see polyphaga as a more common one. I'm hoping to add a cockroach fossil to my collection eventually.

lovebugfarm Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think bugs in cyberspace has a large deadstock section I never looked for exotic roaches specifically but I figure he sells them life he should have some dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenevanica Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Try bioquipbugs.com. There selection isn't large, but they have a few exotic roaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks for the responses everyone! Bugsincyberspace and Bioquip Bugs both only have hobby species and I'm trying to get a few other species not found in the hobby. Found a seller that had quite the diversity on ebay, so I'll probably try to bid on a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I didn't see much on ebay (a few fossils, common lucite blocks, and one neat Rhabdoblatta from Malaysia). Did you find something better? I would like to buy a Megaloblatta specimen. I saw some in lucite 20 years ago but have no idea where to get them now.
