Chris and I have been eager to launch an Educational Series! We supply roaches to several universities and colleges across the state, and they often share their incredible research with us. Every time, we're thrilled to uncover something new about roaches, and we think you'll feel the same. Join us as we dive into this fascinating learning journey as we kick it off with Roach Antennae!

Roaches belong to the order Blattodea, characterized by a tough, chitinous exoskeleton. However, males and females exhibit distinct abdominal structures related to their reproductive roles. Males, meanwhile, are slimmer and slightly more aerodynamic - probably because they’re always darting around, showing off.

If you’ve ever wondered about the delicate (and frankly hilarious) process of roach adolescence, buckle up - because the Discoid Roach goes through one of the weirdest coming-of-age rituals in the insect world. Forget human teenage years with awkward growth spurts and questionable fashion choices.
