Strange choice, but looks very good.

Hey, I like a lot of your Roaches!

Blaptica dubia, Deropeltis paulinoi, Elliptorhina chopardi, Gyna lurida, Gromphadorhina oblongonata, Lucihormetica subcincta, and Therea grangeani.

Do you sell them? I see you have reviews, I would love to buy some. I really want a Macropanesthia rhinoceros, you know anywhere to get a few of those to start breeding?

if you also noticed that i don't have very many for each species.
the only species that i have a lot of is the B. dubia.
I recently developed and allergy for their frass so i am quickly getting rid of 99% of my B. dubia population

sorry, but none for sale at the moment.

as for the rhino roaches. james and dexter used to sell them, but right now, i don't think that they have any available yet.
this species takes 3-5 years to mature i think.

Dude, that's awesome! Life-size, too!

I know a guy who's so into caddisflies (yeah, weird, I know, but he's an entomologist) that he had someone design a PNW Native American-style caddisfly that he got tattooed on his ankle.

What a fantastic tattoo. I was actually just thinking about a hisser tat the other day, how funny. Though, the topic confused me a little. "Inked in my skin" made me think about how millipedes' repugnatory secretions can stain your flesh, and I was thinking for a moment that you discovered some new defense mechanism in hissers.

That's the first thing that went through my head, too!

LOL Thanks

Well Ren if you want a Roach tattoo let me know, I'm in NY as well and I've been wanting to do another roach tattoo, I might do a Hisser Molting in just white Ink and shades on my some where.

I really like the tatoo and I've never seen a hisser tatoo before (a few that looked like German roaches to me). The only thing I would change is the tarsi to follow the plane of the femora.
I have a list of cool roaches available here (under orin): http://www.bidabug.org/Forum/index.php?showtopic=1142&st=0&gopid=4418&#entry4418
BTW:What are the limits to the areas where you can do a decent self tatoo?

 

[Snake_Eyes]

Pretty cool.
