So I have some roaches. They are false death heads, so to begin with, they can't fly and they can't climb smooth surfaces. Before I go into the mystery roach escaping I would like to also note that even though everything i have ever read about them and seen myself says they can't fly. But that doesn't explain why I saw one flying in the container I keep them in. My largest one, a male, was definately busting those wings of his out and flying from one end of the conatiner to the other. Yes, he is a discoid and he was flying. Odd huh?
Ok, now that I'm done with that drawn out story.....Next to my roach container is a spider. I kind of like spiders so I let them spin their webs and chill and do their thing. Well today I checked out Mr. Spider, or "spider-man" and I noticed he had one of my roaches in his web! The container I keep them in has a lid and I have never had a single roach escape. It was a baby roach too, so it couldn't reach up to the air holes, which are on the lid. Is it possible that "spider-man" waltzed into my roach home and just plucked one up and brought it back to his web? Or is this an escapee that happened to get tangled in his web? Any insight into this is helpful and I figured this would be the best forum I could post this in as I know many of you breed or have bred feeder roaches. Thanks!
