Cockroach ID

[calum]

hi, I recently got these cockroaches which I belive to be a gromphadorhina species. I'm not sure if it's just A portentosa morph or what. all I know is that they hiss and resemble Gromphadorhina species.

here are some nymphs from the latest brood if that helps in any way.

Beautiful roaches...portentosa have a lot of color variations mine range from pale tan to almost totally black. These look like portentosa to me, but that is the only species I'm familiar with currently. If you are ever interested in swapping a few roaches give me a yell, would love to add some of these to my colony.

Looks like a G. Portentosa. They have a wide variation of color morphs,so don't be surprised at what those offspring turn out to look like.

it'd be cool if some turned out BLACK, it would be cool to breed those.

These appear to be Gromphadorhina grandidieri , common color.

I was thinking that or portentosa, but it doesn't really have the colouring of and Grandidieri I've seen.

 

[Matt K]

I have several just like that.

ok then, Grandidieri it is then.

cheers matt.
