the crew, belowdecks

when observing hissing cockroaches, you might have noticed a few brown specks scrambling over their backs or gathered in the seams of their exoskeleton. they are Androlaelaps schaeferi, a species of mite that lives its whole lifespan onboard a giant cockroach host! the commensal A. schaeferi isn’t a parasite, though, and takes its meals from its hosts’ own. if the mite’s mooching helps clean where the roach itself can’t, the relationship might even be considered mutualism, where both species benefit.

on the white of a freshly molted roach, the mites are particularly conspicuous, and even the pale juveniles stand out.

Mama! If you look closely you can see lots of babies wiggling through the moss too

VERY educational video about isopods, millipedes, and creating a safe, natural enclosure for them.

In this video:

Dairy cow isopods (Porcellio laevis)

Dalmatian isopods (Porcellio scaber)

Milkback isopods (Porcellio laevis)

Pink foot millipede (Narceis americanus)

Tropical springtails (Collembola sp.)
