Thanks! :) Hopefully one day they'll make it to the European hobby, first they have to get established here though, and for some reason that seems to be a difficult task!

What a unique looking roach! I was about to comment on how similar their shape is to a Boll's sand roach, only to realize that they belong to the same genus :rolleyes: I have a lot to learn. It's incredible that the males go through such a transformation, while females remain looking so much like the nymphs.

...that is, if the very first post contains both male and female nymphs?

Yup, there are around 40 described species of Arenivaga, all of which are very similar in overall morphology. These are the prettiest by far IMO. :)

Yeah, the sexual dimorphism in this genus is very noticeable! (And yes, you can see a subadult male nymph in the last photo from the first post, their thoracic pads are a lot darker than those of female nymphs).

It's a very interesting shape. The females remind me of little tanks.

Ah, okay. That's what I suspected, but I wasn't sure!
