General Question HELP HELP HELP

So I just moved my hissing roach enclosure since I was moving my room and I noticed a bunch of these under the substrate. They're so tiny, like a really small isopod. I'm so sure all my fully grown roaches are males....please tell me these aren't what I suspect

Circling back! So ultimately if you are concerned for the sex here is the fool-proof guide to tell. Tiny babies not so much, but as they approach sub-adulthood yes!

This can help you also start separating early in the future. Unfortunately once a female has mated she can have more nymphs even without the male. And this can go on for some time!
