Hi!
I've been repeatedly seeing small, reddish-brown roaches amongst the leaf litter in my yard, and I've collected two females. I just had them identified by another bug-loving friend as Pennsylvania Wood Roaches. I'm kind of interested in breeding them as pets, because they are so gosh darn cute . Does anyone have any experience with them?

Feed them dead leaves and make sure you have dead wood in there. I've never bred them but I had some in this setup. Carrots are also welcome too.

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.

Thanks, but are you confusing mine for Cryptocercus? Mine ate fish food and apple pieces.
