...With some blaberus species roach, possibly Discoid?
Went to feed a winged adult off today and she popped an eggsack in the enclosure. So I did a little closer inspection and realized that I definitely have a second species in there.
Since the nymphs are pretty much impossible to separate I'd have to purge the entire colony if I wanted to get rid of them, which I could do I suppose.
I only use this as a feeder colony, and whatever the second species is it has similar enough traits to the dubia (doesn't fly or climb) to where it doesn't particularly matter to me that they're in there.
Is there any reason unbeknown to me that I should care about this?
Obviously I'm just going to freeze any extras rather than sell them from a tainted colony, but just in terms of them being lunch is it a problem?
