If you're talking about the laterallis, I've been just tapping a carton over a small catch cup. Easy enough to pick the size you need out of that. Fast little guys, after dealing with dubia and hissers.:)
they are! i've had luck tapping them out of the egg crate into their large sterlite and cornering them with a slightly curved piece of egg crate to kind of scoop them up into a catch cup. I tried tapping a few into the cup but i couldn't get them separated and they tend to run up my arm. I've had 1 single pinhead escapee so far from my clumsiness. Now if i can keep from having anymore i won't have to worry about my house getting infested.

Lol, I've had one adult female escape. An hour later she crawled across my foot:)

i'd be worried about an adult female, could be pregnant. This was a little pinhead i put in a catch cup and while reaching for the cup i accidentally knocked it off the dresser. Roach went flying to who knows where lol. I'm hoping in our frantic moving things around to find it we crushed it under something :)
