Shaneofall Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Take a look at the ones I circled. Most do look like wide horns, but a few look very flat and darker. I got them as smaller nymphs from someone on the site as wide horns and they also sold me a group of Flat Horns, so I wonder if either some got mixed in, or they are actual hybrids. Unfortunately these guys don't look exactly like the Flat Horns I got, those do look more pure linage. Here are some more close ups of what are supposed to be G. oblongonota zoomed in...

Forcep Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 As long as I know Gromphadorhina and Aeluropoda do not hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever seen Wide Horns that look flat and are shorter/wider than the others in pure linage? The second pic down looks very much like an Aeluropoda nymph, except the stripes on the shoulder area are the white / off white instead of a redish color.

Cariblatta lutea Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Recently molted nymphs are flat so that's probably the case with your specimens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Recently molted nymphs are flat so that's probably the case with your specimens. That's exactly what's going on. I have G oblongonata hybrids and pure, yours look exactly like pure stock. Once they eat and fatten up they all look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
