Cariblatta lutea Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Pretty good looking for a nymph! Thanks. I actually find the nymphs to be equally beautiful as adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 They suck at growing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Do they grow a lot slower than the regular Gyna lurida? I know I waited a long time for some G. lurida nymphs about size of the end of a pencil to grow to maturity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I think I have nymphs!!!! I tossed a few of these guys into one of my "community" tanks with B. giganteus and some other non-roach species quite some time ago. After a bit of disappointment over finding one of my 4 remaining G. caffrorum adults deceased this morning... I checked on the B. giganteus and saw one rogue G. caffrorum running for cover... and a bunch of small, pale roach nymphs scattering too! So, either they were baby B. giganteus (WAY too small for that, I think), something else has self-colonized my tank. or they are baby Gyna! I think that they were fresh Gyna neonates, because of how pale they were, and the fact that they were all still clustered near where the adult Gyna was. So... it looks like the insurance policy sub colony might actually be the successful part of the colony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfox Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Had a similar experience with mine. Thought all the adults had died, then noticed dozens of tiny tiny nymphs all over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Exactly how tiny are these nymphs? New born lat size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I've never had lats, so I can't make that comparison. Perhaps the size of baby lobsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
