Closeup of the spiracles which is where the hissing sound comes from. Also a little view of the Gromphadorholaelaps schaeferi, which are helpful little mites that clean the cockroach and mainly hang out around its neck.

  • They're actually freaking adorable... ! X33

  • i've got a breeding pair strictly as pets, but I got a shipment of B.dubia as my feeders for my geckos. I can understand why most ppl dislike em, but the really gotta admit one day soon that roaches of every species and genus are pretty adorable.

  • That's really cool. Glad i learned something today too. :)

    Do they ever bite though ?

  • Such an odd sound.

  • it's funny when they hiss. They dont seem to like being picked up haha! They are pretty cool looking.

  • Not that slimy/squirmy insects are bad either, of course. :D

  • I dunno why people find them so icky looking. They're one of the least squirmy/slimy looking beatles out there. o.o
