I seem to always buy roaches with only 'common names' these days
I bought these today as Cuban wood roaches
The females have reduced wing cases and both sexes have a yellowish/light orange band along the forward edge of the head part (not sure on the proper name) and the males are extremely dark brown or black with wings.
The females are slightly longer and wider than dubia and the males are slightly shorter but wider than dubia males.
Not a very good description i know but i aint no entomologist
Any experts out there who can ID these ?
Thanks Peter
