The hissing roaches are cool and surprisingly very clean. I'm friends with one of our state's biologists who specializes in bugs and he has several that we play with. He says that unlike most other species the hissing ones cannot carry the diseases the others do. Kinda neat.

Thought I'd take a closer look at the lobster connection... Turns out, they're not that similar at all. In fact, you probably have more in common (taxonomically speaking) with your pet cat... Sorry...
