Hisserdude Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Here's some pics of some more nymphs that hatched today! Sorry about the crappy quality, these guys are tiny and do not like to stay still for the camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Congrat.! Looks like you'll have a large colony soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks, I hope so! Do you know how long these guys typically take to mature? Also, they have some predatory mites in their enclosure, will they stress my roaches like normal mites do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 My fourth ooth just hatched, and no die offs yet, and I hope it stays that way! My oldest nymphs have molted four times already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Aaaaaaand here I am trying to hatch out my first P. divisa and lata egg cases... Havent hatched out. They were laid little over 3 months ago now... Lucky you lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Well it took a few months for mine to hatch, yours should be hatching soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I have been checking everyday! I hope so! The ridges where the nymphs emerge from are getting darker which is a sign of fertility and a viable ooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Good work! All the best from Bill. Thanks Bill! Are you ever going to post some pictures of your Polyphaga obscura here? We don't seem to have any in the U.S. hobby, so any pictures we can get of this species are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Bill Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I will keep the camera close to hand, just for you Hisserdude! It's feeding day on Wednesday, you never know your luck. All the best from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Ok, so all the pictures I have taken of my adult females of this species have sucked, so I set out to take some really good ones. Finally, I was able to get some great photos, so without further ado, here they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Well my colony is absolutely thriving, I've had to start using them as feeders! I took some pictures of the colony a few days ago, it's amazing how much my colony has grown in the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine supposedly produce orange and black males, but I've only had black ones pop up in my colony. Looking forward to buying (or trading) your americana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Interestingly enough, two males have matured recently, and they are much darker than the other males in my colony, here are some pics of them: They aren't as dark as males of other strains I've seen, but still very different looking from my other males. Wonder if I could isolate this trait or not... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
