Well, none of them climb.




Thanks

Eublaberus distanti on top and more than likely, Blaberus discoidalis on bottom
Zephyr
Top species is Eublaberus sp. "Ivory/White."
Bottom species is Blaberus discoidalis.

Cool. Is it ok if they live together?
Zephyr
Yes, they can live together and will not hybridize, etc.
However, if you want to breed them, I suggest separating the two species; otherwise they may eat each other's young and one species will eventually dominate and drive the other extinct.

Probably an odd Blaberus discoidalis, but it could possibly be a B. discoidalis x B. boliviensis, or Blaberus sp. "Venezuala."

Well, I got around 70 roaches for free, 40 being the e.distanti.

If the "E. distanti" you're referring to are the ones from the first two photos, they're E. sp. "Ivory/White," not E. distanti.

Wait whats the scientific name? And where did you find the information? I wanted to use as feeders, but they seem interesting.

That adult looks pretty tan to me.

The pronotum pattern is off.

E. distanti adult. *somewhat freshly molted*

E. sp. "White" (From CodeWilster)

E. distanti compared to E. sp. "White" (From Matt K)

Contrary to the name, they can have orange pronotums as well; it varies with how many color enhancing foods they eat.
