    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....

My colony of these is doing well so I'm offering glowspot roach nymphs for $4 each! Purchase through my website HERE or contact me directly. Thanks for looking!

Glowspot roaches are beautiful pet roaches (though they can also be used as feeders too). Nymphs (not pictured) are shiny black with orange heads and prefer burrow through the substrate. Adults have yellow, brown, and black markings and tend to stay above ground more often. Only adult males have the characteristic orange glowspots on the pronotum. This species appreciates a variety of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, apples, or oranges. These roaches should have a substrate like coco fiber to burrow around in.
Note: Glowspot roaches don’t actually glow! But it’s been speculated that wild glowspot roaches are able to glow (maybe it’s something in their diet?)
  • Species name: Lucihormetica verrucosa
  • Size: Small-medium nymphs (about 1/4″ to 1/2″)
  • Amount: 10
  • Can climb smooth surfaces? Nymphs cannot climb, but adults can climb
  • Can fly? No
