Cariblatta lutea

Are there any deciduous trees in your area? Nymphs feed on decomposing logs and can often be found cohabiting with bess beetles.

Usually I found them in broken boxes that has degraded a bit, though some species (like Latiblattella rehni) seem to like intact boxes more than soggy degraded boxes. I've not been posting pics much here lately bc whenever I post new pics on my FB the links for my old pics no longer work so I have to update the posts on here to make the pics visible again. P. fuliginosa naturally occurs at my place and occasionally comes in from outdoors. I used to raise large number of beetles so I had a box full of substrates and rotten woods, and those darn Periplanetas were feeding off of those and breeding in there They also got into my Blaberus containers and started breeding. It took about a year to get rid of them from my house but now I have Supella longipalpa breeding here

Another method you can use is setting out several cardboard boxes and checking them every once in a while. I find Parcoblatta this way and when I was in FL I was able to find some interested Ectobiids and even Periplaneta nymphs by checking cardboard boxes laying on the ground.

Both are male P. virginica, with second specimen being a darker morph.

The black ones are quite big for Arenivagas I'm waiting on the white ones to mature to see how big they'll get. Hoping they'll be about as big as the black ones!

In my experience Blattella asahinai breed and grow at much faster rate. In fact, it has the fastest rate of reproduction of all the roaches I kept so far!

Went on a 4 day trip to collect these guys! Black ones come from Ocala National Forest and white ones come from Lake Placid. Black : White

After 7 months of incubation, one of the ooths hatched!

I 2nd Hisserdude's ID. Those are undoubtedly P. virginica. All the ones in the pics are nymphs.

Nope. I saw orange coloration occurring in both sexes when I went to Alan Grosse's house

Turns out it was Perisphaerus. Not Corydidarum. lol

Where did you hear this? The only death of a person from roach I know of was due to peanut butter allergy (roach had eaten peanut butter prior to being eaten).

Here's a pic of a female (one in the center) showing its abdomen. You can see that it has white abdomen with a bit of black at the center (apparently the amount of black in the abdomen can vary from specimen to specimen).

Unfortunately this species doesn't show any size difference between male and female.

Unfortunately no

Males have narrower body than females. Also, their abdomen tend to be jet black whereas females tend to have white abdomen.

Wow, didn't know these have made it to Europe now! I keep mine on moist eco earth with few pieces of egg flats and give them dog food and fruit. It's very humid in the enclosure (probably around 70% humidity). Temp stays around 75F atm.

Mine pretty much enjoy anything I throw in such as apple, carrot, cabbage, dog food, etc...

Here we go

Had some nymphs hatch out recently

Armadillidium sp. "Montenegro" babies!

Thanks I still have a long way to go!
