Allpet Roaches Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 H. Tanaka wanted to share some photos of the roaches he's been breeding (taken by a friend, titled on photo). He asked me to post them. I don't think I've seen a male photo on the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I haven't seen a male before either! Very cool looking. Any pictures of others? Is he producing babies? Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hmm I wonder what makes him so successful with them compared to most people .... Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogleBug Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Oh WOW... I had no idea they had such long wings, looks somewhat like a longhorn beetle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dEsSiCaTa_UK Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 What the hell is that?! Looks like a true bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 It does look like a coreid bug! Fantastic species. Have you asked him what his "secret" is? I was pretty sure there were some U.S. keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricktop Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 It does look like a coreid bug! Fantastic species. Have you asked him what his "secret" is? I was pretty sure there were some U.S. keepers. Roachman had a species like this one of the last time i saw him, albeit slightly less odd. It was dark like that and resembled a large wasp. Its surprising alot of these weirder species aren't more common on the market considering their exotic appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugmanPrice Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 This pic was also put up on this Japanese cockroach forum. It's hard to tell what's going on sometimes but it's still fun to look at some of the pictures of stuff we don't have, at least in the states.

It was dark like that and resembled a large wasp. Do you mean Paranauphoeta formosana? Anyway, I noticed that an adult male only lived 35 days. This doesn't seem typical for a large species?
