Roaches Dying (weird)

[Euronymous]

Doing cage maintenance with my lobster colony, I noticed they have been dying. The only that has changed is I put two ant traps (roommates ) inside my room. Is there anyway this could be affecting them? Is it safe to use them as feeders right now? Also when I was clean the tub out I noticed a lot of the young adults would sit on the side and lift their wings. Any ideas?

Do you have enough moisture and air movement?

There are several large holes on the top, and I keep a fan on at all times. Can you define humidity? I just have egg crates, water thing made for chickens and a food dish.

Oh good grief:

Try visiting www.roachforum.com

...this thread should be under "Insects and other Inverts"

As for what a lobster roach looks like, try using a SEARCH engine like Google.

Go to this page and scoll down a bit:

There are lots of species there with pics.
