Rhino Roach- Quick picture

[Gsc]

When I came home alittle bit ago, one of my female Australian Rhino Roaches (Macropanesthia rhinoceros) was on top of the substrate messing around. I have 2 pairs housed in the 20gal. long tank... both pairs are adults...I'm hoping for babies this year! Keep your fingers crossed! Enjoy.

those are so cool looking. good size comparison pic... it's easy to imagine a cellphone in my hand... then make it a cockroach of roughly the same size and heft. heh.

I must admit- they are pretty good size. I should be getting a third adult rhino pair in the next few months. I have had Macropanesthia rhinoceros on and off over the past five years...but usually just a few juveniles or an oddball adult. Hopefully with adult pairs I'll be able to accomplish breeding. They only breed once a year...

does that mean you have to do a pretty good job to tie them into the local seasons?

my bedroom/bugroom swigns between way less than 60*F during winter night to well over 90*F during summer day, with my window open for almost all the year (except when the rain is coming in, heh)

That is one big roach! Everyone beat me to the "electronics bugs" puns LOL
Good luck with the breeding efforts! That's interesting that they only breed once a year as when most people think roach, they think prolific and hard to get rid of
