Allpet Roaches Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Platymeris "mombo" is the animal in your photograph. Platyermis biguttata (that is the original spelling) has white spots on the wings and yellow bands on the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Thanks Orin! I bought these as very small nymphs and they only recently have matured. I bought them as Platymeris biguttata, and thought the 'Mombo' were Orange Spot w/ Red armbands, so wondered if they were a hybrid, a light Mombo, or a dark P.biguttata. In either case the Mombo's in my possession are big and hungry. More on the hungry side! True to thier name...killers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
