    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

can you identify this roach species

i can see they are females (no wings) im no roach expert but they look like false deathheads, i could be very wrong though..alberto didnt say what kind they where?
 
Those look to be discoid roaches (Blaberus discoidales). I know Alberto has some roaches he’s been feeing his knob tails and I think they were discoids.
 
thank you cody i figured you wouldknow i actually poasted this hoping you would see it alberto was told they were lobsters but they are completly different from the lobsters i have and these were also non climbers whitch real lobsters are climbers but now the only question is where can i get more any help?
 
Those are discoids I believe.
As a side note, those are juveniles and that's why they're wingless. Both sexes are winged as adults, they get them with the final molt.
 
The Truth be told

ok well after some tracking down and some good old hard detective work i asked alberto for the name of the person he got them from and then i contacted that person to find out they are blaptica dubia roaches thank you all for the responses it was much appreciated
