I can confirm that these roaches require these mites to thrive. I raise several species, and while one smaller colony managed to lose all of their mites(for whatever reason, the roaches slowed down, their coloration grew very dull and dusty, they became significantly less active, lethargic, and some even died after a few months. I added a population of mites from another colony to them, and they perked back up and were much healthier than before only a month later. Symbiotic relationships are absolutely astounding. I think I may have spotted some of these mites living on my dubia roaches as well? Although, not very often. They may just be loose wanderers.

To understand this, imagine if your garbage collector has his own miniature garbage collector army living on his body and keeping him as clean as if he just stepped out of the shower; all for the price of food scraps in his mouth and his breath for water. That is how the hissing cockroach's mites do.

I'm not really afraid of bugs and have a tendency to feed spiders i find around my house, but American cockroaches for some reason ignite a visceral fear in me. I couldn't even look at the screen while you showed them in the kitchen. However, the hissing roach is kinda cute. I'd let him chill

I got a question about cockroaches, and that is can we use the home owners worst nightmare to clean up trash that otherwise is toxic and indigestible to other animals. These can even be engenered to eat plastic and other stuff that fills up landfills and other garbage places.

I have always been very fascinated about these guys. I adore them. They're so cute! They make the same feelings in me as petting a puppy. I think these cockroaches are absolutely adorable and i'd love to have them as pets

This symbiotic relationship between a cockraoch and it's mites are why in all the 20 years I've been keeping cockroaches as pets, I've never cleaned their mites. (Same for my millipedes who share the same mites)

Thanks for this informative video! I used to have a hissing cockroach, and kind of wondered about those mites. My first guess was that they were baby cockroaches, but I figured that had to be wrong.

It's like having a big handful of NOPE, but here's the kicker: you throw some more NOPE onto it, and the 2 NOPES end up bonding to and living together to merge into one big Super Saiyan NOPE.

A lab I worked in in college had a colony of hissing roaches and I always thought the mites were pests! So glad to know that it was just a good old mutualistic relationship. :)

So these things do the opposite of what those pest roaches that are in homes would do? Not bad. I like the roaches shown here. I do not like the ones that invade our homes.

The ONLY roach that I can appreciate is the half-smoked blunt sitting in my ash tray.
In fact, I 'mite' smoke it right now.
