Tiny, prolific, and awesome micro feeders for baby tarantulas and other miniscule predators. I keep mine warm at around 75–85°F with a couple inches of substrate to burrow in with plenty of dried leaf litter and chunks of rot wood which the nymphs in particular seem to very much appreciate. I provide a 50/50 horizontal moisture gradient. Diet includes rot wood, leaves, fish or dog food and occasionally something sweet like fruit or Asian jelly (which is more like jell-o/gelatin than American jelly).

Climbing ability: Adults Yes , Nymphs No
Flying ability: Adults Yes (reluctantly), Nymphs No

This closeup photo of an adult Pacific Two-Spot Roach (Euthyrrhapha pacifica) showcases how their wing tips that hang out from under they elytra are almost always in a tattered state. They can fly, but they don't do it often and I assume it's because of the usual state of their wings.
