tingo Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Roach "A" is smaller and was collected under leaves in damp forest. Roach "B" was collected in an old abandoned house in said forest. larger pics here: Roach A: http://kybugs.com/whats_that/a.html Roach B: http://kybugs.com/whats_that/b.html I collected 9 of roach A with a ratio of 6 males/3 females and 3 nymphs of roach B - all have now molted to female adults so I have no reference for B males Any help with id greatly appreciated!

The Roach B seems to be Parcoblatta pennsylvanica, The Roach A male seems to be P.uhleriana, and the female (which is still a nymph BTW), is also P.uhleriana.

I was thinking B was likely pennsylvanica. As I review the specs of uhleriana it's seems to be spot on, thanks for the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
