[QUOTE="Pasodama, post: 109747, member: 16469"] Another vote, for Dubia, here. I raise them and they are easy to keep & breed. They, certainly, won't stink up a room either. They cannot climb slick sides so they will not escape a plastic tub as long as egg flats, etc., are not piled to the top. Only males can fly but it is negligible. Mostly a downward flutter (from top to somewhere lower). Escapes are rather rare and, usually, only occur from a person's error or their dropping a tub. However, even if some manage to escape, there is no worry of infestation. That said, one thing, to keep in mind, is that Dubia roaches can burrow into substrate (especially, or more so, nymphs) but, even if they burrow, they do, eventually, venture to the top. [/QUOTE]
