1/27/11  Cops: Man Arrested For Smuggling Cockroaches - This is just another example of why FL hobbyists need to know what species of roaches are native to FL  to feed to their inverts and reptiles, and which ones they can't buy/sell/breed/acquire. It's o.k. to keep the discoids, but not the dubia, hissers, lobsters and orange-spotted. A lot of reptile keepers are feeding monitors, tegus and bearded dragons dubia and hissers. IF in FL, feed them off and only keep discoids. Don't order these online and have them shipped to FL. Only keep discoids and other native FL roach species.
