hissing roaches

have been doing excessively well, so we are organizing a giveaway.

*What:* free discoids and Madagascar hissers
*When:* *Friday October 18th 11AM-noon* and *Monday October 21st 1-2PM*
*Where: *Room 312 in Entomology
*What to bring: *you need to bring an enclosure or plastic container that
will house the roaches on your way home

Here is a care sheet for the Madagascar hisser

we keep and feed discoids the same way.

Thanks for considering giving these critters a good new home! :-)

Best wishes, Christiane
