Roach ID Help

[gh0001356]

I have this oddball roach in my B. dubia colony...

Can anyone ID it for me?

Thanks

Nothing oddball about it.... its another B.dubia. Looks like it may even be a little more recently molted out than the other.

Blaptica dubia, among many other roaches (i.e. G. portentosa) can be quite variable in there general appearance; exhibiting more or less of one pigment or another. This is not to say they are a "morph", they are just variable which is normal for them.

It kind of shocked me to see this white spotted roach running around. I don't recall seeing it before today.

after a roach molts it will be pure white except for its eyes

but when they start to harden they get darker so this guy molted a little while ago
