They'd throw their gross little sticky feet. have you noticed they like to chew on the plastic lattice thing that's in their containers when you buy them from the big companies and stuff and it's such an...off putting sound. I hate it. I hear it in the middle of the night.

The sound is not the most pleasant. For me, the only thing worse than this is the sound coming from the containers on my refrigerator. It's warm on the refrigerator and I have 3 containers of dubias there. During the day they sleep, and at night they become active, eat and do what roaches should do, some of their own business. I have about a thousand individuals in each container, for a total of 3 thousand. When I go to the refrigerator at night, the sound is similar to a swarm of bees, but as soon as you think that these are not bees, it becomes not very pleasant

Absolutely. I have the same experience with buzzing black soldier flies and superworms doing what ever tf they’re doing. I was tempted MANY times to chuck ‘em out the window when they woke me up so early.

Maaaaan whenever we used to buy large amounts of dubias, it sounded so horrifying.

We have a dubia colony in our dining room and because they're so active at night, from our room it sounds like it's raining outside. We'll look at each other in question, "jeez, it sounds like it's pouring outside" only to go check and see it's the dubias being...dubia's.

I'll be days shaking that mental image lol

I don't notice the dubias so much. I keep them in a critter carrier with lots of egg crate, it's rare I hear them. The supers I keep in a Tupperware container with oats and whatever media they came in. I don't hear them often either.

I also keep dubias on egg crate. They are in containers. The containers are pasted over with styrofoam to retain heat, but this does not prevent you from hearing their "party"

We get them from dubia deli and stuff like that and it's not bad. We did discover Amazon sells superworms for real cheap and they're pretty good quality, too.
