7tisix Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It gets hot too. Like 95 degrees most the day in the summer with 95% humidity on the worst of them. Lows in the high 70s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yes I would suspect that they would like it warm and very humid, though they may tolorate room temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I wouldn't say I see them very much. I never really looked for them either. More in the summer months I have noticed them while weed eating or mowing the grass. I wonder if the ootheca needs a special requirement like mud or 95% humidity for a period. The humidity gets pretty high here often. If you see them while mowing the grass occasionally, then I would consider this species kind of common where you are in Florida. But in other states farther north they might be rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tisix Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I did a little hunting today. What is the easiest way to share pictures? I have quite a few pics of various insects, lizards, slugs, etc. Spring like temperatures today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizards, spiders, isopods, etc http://s64.photobuck...uisiana 2-12-16 Wow, you have some nice looking insects early in the year! Here in Colorado, I won't be seeing insects for another 3-4 months at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Nice! Lots of cool inverts (and vertebrates, verts?) there! FYI, that cockroach nymph with the red backdrop seems to be a Blattella species, possibly one of the non-pest ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude was fast, so I scooped the surrounding leaves and sticks and threw them in the bucket. I let him go. Too fast to try to keep him lol.

Yeah when I have to catch a really fast, small invert I just scoop up the ground beneath it and put it in a container, if I tried grabbing the bug itself I'd probably smash it.

Tenevanica Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Found this guy under some wood. Can we get @Hisserdude on the ID here? Very cool little roach. Those two orangey-yellow spots on the pronotum are very pretty. Good find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good find! Yes you may! It is definitely a Parcoblatta nymph, my guess is virginica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Definitely a parcoblatta nymph, hisserdude's probably right about it being virginica but something doesn't quite seem "right" about it, probably just the picture though.

It does seem a little light colored for a virginica, but it doesn't seem to match any of the other Parcoblatta. It's overall body shape and color resemble virginica the most.

Hisserdude Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Found these guys today while looking for millipedes. More pics in the Album The top one seems like one of the Blattella species, looks like B.vaga. The bottom one looks like a Ischnoptera deropeltiformis nymph. Nice finds!

Cariblatta lutea Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Found these guys today while looking for millipedes. More pics in the Album My bet is on Blattella asahinai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tisix Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I caught 2 of those Ischnoptera deropeltiformis pictured above and put them in my communal tank. Those guys are fun to watch run. They drift like a race car lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
