Nauphoeta cinerea


I just cleaned out one of my roach bins, which is never a small chore. There's nothing quite like fresh water gems to make these critters go crazy.

I know lobster roaches are regarded only for their use as a feeder species, which is why I have them as well, but I really think they're quite a beautiful animal. In appreciation for their beauty, and as reverence for them giving their lives for my other bugs, I have one tattooed on my hand. It's neat to always be able to see these guys wherever I am, now :)
