Elliptorhina laevigata Nymph

I absolutely love the coloration on this rare species of "dwarf" hisser! Can't wait till Summer when my fourteen nymphs start maturing and breeding for me!
A very handsome roach! :) The coloration looks similar to Gromphadorhina oblongonota -- or at least the nymphs. Would you agree?
 
@ErinM31 Thanks, I agree!:) They're coloration does look similar to adult G.oblongonota, but it's a bit more of a maroon than the dark red of the wide horns. I'm very excited to see what kind of colors these guys throw off once they mature(even purple sometimes shows up), that's supposed to be when the colors really pop!
 
@All About Insects I look forward to seeing photos of yours! They are already lovely! :) Did you get them from Roach Crossing? I might consider getting some of these lovely roaches and have also had my eye on the black variety of Gromphadorhina grandidieri.
 
@ErinM31 Thank you!:) Nope, I got them from Spencer Thornton(he's on the roach forum and on many of the roach FB groups) for much cheaper, 10 small nymphs for $60(he ended up sending me 15, but one died in shipping), I believe he actually has another group available right now on the Roach Paradise FB group. Those are very nice, I myself will be acquiring some G.grandidieri in a couple months.:)
