[subic_spiderworld]

I found this in the mountains near where I live. Can you please help me identify it? I saw an ad saying its a hissing rhino but I dont know if there is such a thing.

Looks like a Panesthia Sp. to me.

Check this site, it has pictures of your roach. And yes I would agree it's a Panesthia Sp female.

Thanks for the link, I liked looking at that website (even thought I couldn't read it). I really like that roach, it looks great as an adult--jet black and shiny--nice!

Just got back from a local show a spoke to a dealer/friend who said he'd seen some roaches that matched photo you posted and were labeled the same as yours, they were charging something like £20 each !! he didn't buy any but somebody must have 'cos when I went to have a look they'd all gone!! (there's people in this hobby with way too much money IMHO )

The males are cool looking, they look like shiny black leather, and have wings.
