I've NEVER seen this before. But I'm assuming it's a molt gone bad. I don't know what to type into google to get an exact answer.

I know that roaches swallow a lot of air when they molt. But could this be from that? I don't know. So weird

Hard to tell much from the picture unless you're talking about the circle bubble thing. In which case, I have no idea

Get it out of there. That is not normal even for a poor molt. I'm not sure if it is a parasite because of the photo quality, but you should get it out.

It was taken out and thrown away after the picture was taken. So unfortunately I can't get a better photo. I am talking about that weird bubble. It is burst through the back of the roach

You need to keep an eye on the rest of the reds that were with that one. They might be contaminated.

I'll report back if anything else weird happens with my colony or the spider it was with for a short period. So so weird
