Vantala Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have got a first generation of day cockroach Hemithyrsocera histrio from Malaysia. For my surprise they do not have a yellow stripes on their wings. If anyone know why? I kept them at 80% RH and +30C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vantala Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 The situation with my day cockroaches become more clear. I have a mixture of two species. The first is Hemithyrsocera histrio - I start getting imago with classical yellow stripes on the wings. And the second species is possibly Hemithyrsocera palliata. But I am not sure. They are smaller and grow faster. And they do not live long - I could find a lot of dead bodies in their cage. They have different larva and behavior.

BoogleBug Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 It's awesome to finally have a name for both these species! They were some of the few I have saved in my folder titled "mystery roaches". Most of the ones I have there are from Costa Rica or Malaysia. These are very lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
