Roach ID

[Halgeir]

Hey guys.
Some time ago I ordered a millipede and a roach were in the box the millipede came in! And I already have some dubia and wonders if this one might be a dubia?

 

[Stylopidae]

Looks like one to me

leaning towards the dubia but it could be any blaberus
i guess youll haft to grow it up and see




thanx froggy

 

[Stylopidae]

The roach is too small for the wingbuds to be that developed in blaberus sp which is why I guessed dubia (only judged by watching my lone B. fusca in my lobster roach colony), although blaberus is still a possiblility.

One of the 'real' roachers will come to clear this up

Thanks alot for the replies guys.
You think it will be a problem for the rest of my roach familiy if I put this fellah into the enclosure with the rest of the dubia?

I would not assume Blaberus simply because of the shape and markings.

Blaptica dubia has my vote as well.

 

[the_frog_kid]

it should be fine in with the dubia
they cant hybridize if its blaberus and there are only 2 bllaptica specie in culture
and i think only one person has the other lol
i wish it was me




thanx froggy

Thanks for the replies guys. I just tossed him in with the others. Hope it will be "accepted" ;P

Once again, thanks for the help.

its a male B. dubia nymph. blaberus nymphs look alot like the one pictured but have more orange sploches. you can tell male by the last segment of the abdomen on the underside.
