Cariblatta Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It's a quite common species in southeastern US but not many people seem to breed this species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Cool, how do you care for them? I think the nymphs are quite handsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Cool, how do you care for them? I think the nymphs are quite handsome. I'm currently keeping them in the same way as Blattella germanica. As you can see, they are kept in an airtight container with cardboards inside to give shelter. I also place a cotton soaked in water to maintain humidity in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm seeing more and more adults in the colony now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Nice work! Any breeding yet, or were those nymphs born in the colony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Nice work! Any breeding yet, or were those nymphs born in the colony? Thank you I've seen couple of oothecae in the enclosure but I have not seen any new born nymphs yet. Hoping they will hatch real soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 These are awesome. Kinda wish I had native roaches around me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 These are awesome. Kinda wish I had native roaches around me. Thank you Try finding some in summer. I'm pretty sure that there will be at least 1 species of native roaches in your area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This is what's living in woods by me but I never see adults http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2360013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 This is what's living in woods by me but I never see adults http://www.projectno...ottings/2360013 Those are Parcoblatta virginica nymphs. Whoever IDed got it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yes, I think Cariblatta is correct. I have not yet found an adult P. virginica in rotting wood but I find them in leaves during the summer and I do not think I have seen an adult male at lights during the night either but P. uhleriana and the possible caudelli are around the lights. Cariblatta: have you found adult P. virginica at lights or in wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta: have you found adult P. virginica at lights or in wood? I've found quite a number of adult female virginicas and have seen 10 or so of males of this species collected under light and brought to Auburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 In last summer I also saw an adult female P. uhleriana on the top part of a log in the day time but as I came close she ran under the log (the log was maybe two feet high at the tip so she was far from a place to hide). During the spring I saw a sub-adult female I. deropeltiformis out ontop of a leaf during the daytime and I caught her. I have seen P. uhleriana males walking around Harris Teeter and other places (and maybe the possible caudelli) during the hot daytime of the summer (they were dying). During the night of summer I have found adult male of Parcoblatta uhleriana or the caudelli underneath the eggcrates of the S. lateralis bins I had out (I have not checked much so I have not seen any in the bins during the day). I would find adult male Parcoblatta uhleriana or the caudelli during the summer inside our bathrooms and other rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Caught 11 nymphs today so I'm going to give another shot at breeding this species with a new setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yay! Let us know how the new setup goes, we need all the information on this species we can get! How exactly are you setting them up this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
