Don't just feed anything you find outside

I think the point though was most roaches are CB colonies and aren't ordered every few days or week or so, so you would have more control over the conditions of the colony.

I should post this video when "X" noobie asks if he/she should feed "Y" tarantula(s) with a wild caught "Z".

Roaches have some parasite infecting them, look!

Those videos are INSANE! Its kind of interesting though when you stop to think of the various forms of parasitism and how various species have evolved their own particular pathway.

Yikes!

Yeah, I saw this other one on AP called "Eaten Alive." Not a show you want to watch while your eating. There's a fish that swam up a guys...um...equipment and a worm that was crawling over a guy's eye!

Amazes me as well that that worm could even fit in a little insect. Makes me even more watchful when my water dragon is basking outside....don't want him to eat anything in the wild.
