Ralph Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ooh.. Can't wait for mine to mature! Those are subcincta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makoygaara Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Is it right to say that the most easy way to distinguish, just by looking at their protonum, is that the male's double yellow spots is larger and brighter than compared to the female?

recluse Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I had L. subcincta about five years or so ago. I could never get them to reproduce for me. They are an awesome roach though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think oak leaves are a good substitution and use them as a staple in all of my colonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Beautiful species, do the spots bioluminescent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Beautiful species, do the spots bioluminescent? In the wild, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
