Surinam. Check http://www.angelfire.com/oh2/Roaches/ for a little more info.

thats cool that you got a culture with both males and females, since the females can reproduce on their own

Definitely the Surinam cockroach Pycnoscelus surinamensis.
I'm not sure who said they have both males and females? The pics are of a sub-adult nymph and an adult female. As far as I know they are strictly parthenogenic, and never have males, but I've been wrong before........

No males of this species are found in the U.S. and it reproduces parthenogenetically. In Europe and Indo-Malaysia it has two sexes.

Hi Jessy,
I've seen stock from European breeders and from various worlwide collection locale and have not seen any with males yet. Also those pics don't have males, which would be notably smaller.
