Here's a journal on all of my roaches.

NOTE: Termites technically are eusocial cockroaches. Also, I'll try to add pictures soon.

GROMPHADORHINA PORTENTOSA
1 female adult (gravid), 1 male adult

BLAPTICA DUBIA
1 female adult, 1 male adult, 27 or so young nymphs, 7 medium sized nymphs, and 2 large sized nymphs

ECTOBIUS PALLIDUS
5 large nymphs

PARCOBLATTA SP. (possibly pennsylvanica)
2 large nymphs

RETICULITERMES FLAVIPES
3 reproductives, 5 workers

ZOOTERMOPSIS ANGUSTICOLLIS colony 1
(in a Termitat)
5 secondary reproductives, 20 or more nymphs

ZOOTERMOPSIS ANGUSTICOLLIS colony 2
(budded from Termitat)
2 secondary reproductives, 5 nymphs

ACHETA DOMESTICUS
17 nymphs

FORFICULA AURICULARIA
3 female adults

Hoping to obtain:
Panchlora nivea
Pardalphlora saussurei
A different species of Ceuthophilus
More Zootermopsis, probably from Ward's Science
Cryptocercus sp.
Pacific Beetle Roach

Unfortunately, my Ceuthophilus male died of old age today.

I've recently been experimenting with aspen bedding as a termite food. I've learned that most dampened cellulose-based materials (cardboard, paper) serve as great termite foods. I wonder if Cryptocercus can eat different forms of cellulose as well as termites.
