[QUOTE="kormath, post: 107782, member: 4199"] the newborn nymphs act as cleaners, they'll eat the droppings of others to balance out their diet. I bought some cleaners once, little catepillar things. worst thing i ever did. This was just after i started my own colony a year ago december. Those little catepillar things turned into little black beetles that bite, and they fly. every time i'd open the colony to get a roach i'd have a beetle or 2 fly out. i ended up cleaning the roaches out of the container and dumping the cleaners in the snow bank last February. Seems like now though, every time i've bough roaches to boost my colonies, or restart them, the orders come with a few of these same beetles. Seems like i'm killing an escapee once a week. [/QUOTE]
