Orange Head Cockroaches Mating

Probably closer to a cockroach than you ever wanted to be.
Observe the black, hook-like genitals on the male... hmmm.

Apparently he couldn't wait for her to "harden" :P She just got done molting. I was preparing the camera to take a picture of her as she just came out of the molt, and minutes later, this was happening. These two are the first of my colony of orange heads to get their wings. I hope for lots more babies soon, as these are some of my favorite roaches.

Where can I get some of these roaches here in Arkansas. Thanks

@Teddybearcop48 I'm not sure whether or not they are legal there, but if so, you can easily order them online :) I did a quick google search and found nyworms dot com slash orangehead.htm (links won't work apparently)

it's funny to watch them mate. I've seen my discoids do it. It's amusing when the female gets spooked, she drags the male along to her hiding spot.

[PenanggalanMonster]

Do the discoids have the same, uh.. black hook-like appendage that you can see in this vid?

fucking gross

Geez, impatient isn't he? surprised he didn't injure the female by mating with her that soon after mating, since their skin is still soft and fragile while they're still white if I'm not mistaken.

Yup. looks almost identical. Hissers have it too, but more pointy.
