every time I get her out she runs around for a while exploring then starts rubbing her butt on my arm and won't stop unless I put her away.. is it a territory thing or is she just a weird bug?

It's good that you've documented it. Keep it platonic, & if you can, discreetly record it... don't want her to get miffed at your rejection, & try #metoo-ing your ass...

I knew it.. I raised her since she was a baby bug, she just passed away today. I've had her since the start of 2024, she was going to have babies but aborted them. I guess it was because she was dying soon ๐Ÿ˜” she was the most sweetest cockroach I've had it felt like she actually had feelings sometimes :(

lmaoo. Ive been trying to record it, she passed away today. I've had her since she was a baby at the start of 2024, she was the strangest hissing cockroach I've had. she liked me so much and would escape her cage to sit on top of it and I like to imagine she was looking at me every time, I know it's weird to put cockroaches near your mouth (not to me) but they're actually really clean, she would always start biting at my mouth like she was trying to kiss me, she was obsessed with always sitting on my boyfriends face. I had 6 cockroaches and she lived through every one. now I need to go on a trip and get some more babies :(

Sorry for your loss, a pet is a pet regardless of how little they are. Sending well wishes.
