Confusion and Mites. (Stooopid Mites!!!)

Lets start off with a couple of pictures:

Hissing Cockroach

Hissing Roach

This is my 2 1/2″ Hissing Cockroach.  I have been reading that I may have her species wrong, so I went to go take these pics to post on Insect Geeks for identification, and I noticed friggen MITES crawling on her!!

They are little and yellow and all over the place!

Ugh!!

I now have to figure out this species, AND what to do about mites.

GREEEEAAAAAT 😐

Happy Saturday.

  1. I don’t know if you can get it state-side, but here in Japan, camphor sawdust works wonders with keeping mites out of our rhinoceros and stag beetle vivaria. It’s just mixed in with the compost that the beetles burrow in.

    • I have not yet heard camphor sawdust as a suggestion, but I will definitely look into it. With a growing “desktop”, I am taking all the suggestions I can get! Thanks! 🙂
