Blaberus spp.

[owen_mitch]

Hi-

Can anyone offer any advice for identifying a Blaberus species as either B. giganteus or B. fusca? I have about a dozen of them, and the size seems more in the B. giganteus range, but the color looks more like B. fusca -- some of the females in particular are almost black. Any advice appreciated!

Pictures

A picture is worth a thousand words.

At least a few pictures would help out the experts in this area. Topside and underside pictures of adults and nymph photos would be a plus. The clearer the photo the better.
