Description
Sorry, there isn't really anything pleasing about this photo, I'm just showing what cockroaches look like after molting.I promise it's not an albino. My bf and I witnessed that all of his cockroaches were white after molting. He was squishy too, XD it kinda grossed me out. XD I felt like he was going to pop if I touched him too hard. XD
OH! These are hissing cockroaches, so before I knew how squishy they were, I poked it too hard and it "screamed" and curled up and rolled off of my hand. I mean it when I say that it screamed. It was a loud hiss that sounded more like it was in agony... Don't worry, I felt bad...

Very cool! How long do you think it will be before the exoskeleton re-hardens and turns back to natural color.
This is actually the first cockroach I have seen after molting.

You know, I have no idea. I'll ask Michael to time it next time though. I think I remember him saying something like a few hours. I can't remember though.

After the initial sense of gut wrenching disgust passes, it's actually kind of cute. what's his name? or does it have one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uh.... he breeds them as food for his spiders, centipedes, scorpiones, solpugids, etc.... I don't think it has a name. XD And I don't blame you, I wouldn't mind them as much if they ate things other than garbage. XD

Neither did I! O_O I was excited for a second because I thought it was an albino! I wanted to kill it and add it to my bug collection... but no >.> Even if I did kill it the cuticle would have finished sclerotizing even after it was dead.

well its simple some cockaroach dies and this necromancer beetle brings it back to life as a ghost so that it can haunt us and it can never die again so it keeps reapearing to make us think we have a cockaroach infestation so that we will spend all this money on extermination giving a win to the bug civilization
thats the only thing i can really come up with -_-

Waaaaiit... Why would they have us spend so much money on an exterminator if it only harms other bugs? ..... Unless..... It's in cahoots with the exterminator!!! They get something out of it! The only question is.... what? o_o

the exterminator is given an unlimeted supply of a rare honey but the bugs have set him up and its piosoned so the exterminator dies in the end
