stanislas Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Today I managed to capture a video of another of my Archimandrita males hissing when disturbed. Anyone else with hissing Archimandrita roaches? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Nice, good footage of this interesting behavior! Many people have reported their peppered roaches hissing, I had a female once, she never hissed, but she was rather old and pretty laid back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockroachTV Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Nice. My tesselata don't hiss. They only try to bite me xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dactylus Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 What kind of gear did you use to record the audio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No external microphone. I wish I had used that to make a better quality recording. I had to amplify the sound as these roaches hiss fairly faint.

dactylus Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 There are some fairly inexpensive mics out there if you're interested in making better quality "nature" recordings. You can check here for some really nice "used" audio gear if you're interested. http://taperssection.com/index.php?board=7.0 There is also a wealth of information available on that site for audio and video recording.

Redmont Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I've noticed mine will hiss some but not a lot, rhino roaches and blaberus species are know for hissing as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hundefrau Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 My male Archimandrita will hiss, too, when he needs me to back off. I think I once heard ond of my females do it as well, but I might have mistaken it with wing noises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfire1577 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have never heard this in any animals in my colony but it's definitely very cool! Also never heard Macropanesthia rhinoceros hiss yet since mine are little so I potentially look forward to them doing it when larger.
