At first they creeped me out, but since they are so shy,i kinda dont mind them now, a couple of them were too big for Fudge and are now adults, one is male, wings not all grown yet.
Does anyone have an adult male that can film it flying?
I know they not great at flying, but when it does, i dont want to get a fright

They really do not fly. Its more of a graceful fall lol. Our crestie is a strange one when it comes to dubia roach. He won't eat small ones but is quite happy to take on larger ones even adult males. He makes us laugh he seems to whack them against the background of his exo terra to stun them before eating them.

Is it mean that i want to see a video of this?
Not got any experiences with dubia's if they are anything like the deaths head roach I would have though the wings are more ornamental as the death heads don't fly not that I've seen anyway

none of my adult roaches "fly" they just kinda half attempt to flutter up and then just drop and crash lol. They have never really tried it often either. I have only ever seen one of them attempt it lol
