Here's another great "hands-on" display at the 23rd annual Los Angeles Natural History Museum Insect fair. These gigantic roaches (from Madagascar) are commonly featured in movies when large, creepy bugs are part of the action! In reality, they are quite friendly and make good pets, so I hear. Visitors to the insect fair are encouraged to handle them, and buy a few to take home as well. Just don't let the Orkin man see them!

Thanks to www.KenTheBugGuy.com for the great display!

The music is "Tech Know" from the Silicon Landscape CD by Technician, available at jcmdi.com

  • pretty cute actually

  • Seems like a LOT of people thought so too - they were quite popular to play with! =)

  • "yes you can touch ! hold me !" xD

  • ...and a LOT of people did! XD

  • @JCMDIweirdStuff, What type of temp and humidity do you keep your roaches in?

  • I dont actually own any of these myself - they were filmed at the LANHM Insect Fair, but I get the impression that normal room temperature and humidity are just fine for them... Roaches are pretty hearty and should be able to handle just about anything we can. The most important thing is to keep the cages clean and well ventilated so the there's no chance of condensation happening inside :-)

  • OMGGG YUKKKKKK DO U REALISE WHAT U AHVE JUST TOUCHED :O

  • @kus2ganteng  I belive that all of those things are good to feed them - most any fruits and vegetables should be good so far as I know...

  • kinda curious... what's the hissing roach diet?

    small cuts of fruits? beans? leaves?

  • These bugs get a bad rap from all the horror movies they are used in
