ArkBlue Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well thank you for the help . I found this on them so far, 1st Gyna capucina, live bearing, didnt say anything on flying, glass climbers, didnt say about the sexing or the breeding and houseing info on just this 1. 2nd Dyna lurida, live bearing, fly like crazy & can take off from the ground, glass climbers it looks like as adults, same for the other 3 questions as with the 1st one "still looking". 3rd Eublaberus posticus, live bearer, wing biters nothing on flying, not a glass climber, same for the other 3 questions as with the 1st one "still looking". 4th Panchlora nivea, live bearer, fly well, glass climber, sexing females are bigger then the males, it didnt say any thing on the breeding, and a bucket cage. So if any one want to fill what I don't see here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Eublaberus have no real flight ability. Gyna are similar across the board except in color and size. G. lurida is easiest to breed followed by bisannulata (moderate) and then capucina (difficult). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt K Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Panchlora dont really fly that often.... they might want to buzz around if its dark (dont open the cage after sunset), but during the day thier only interest seems to be to congregate in the substrate (I use a mix of coconut bark chips and NZ spagnum moss). They are great escape artists though, so a wipe of Vaseline around the top 2 inches of the container helps alot. I keep them in a 10 gallon tank with a screen lid (small mesh screen like for the window on your house). They reproduce like bananas...
