We know its not a sea dwelling creature... It almost looks like a large nymph from the group Epilamprinae, however it could well be a Blaberidae. Either case, semi-dry to damp is fine for molt successfully. Too much air circulation and not enough humidity and the exoskeleton can harden during ecdysis which causes the molt process to "stall" and the insect die as a result..... ...***note: I am just a hobbiest that reads alot about roaches, and these are just my opinions.... despite my rather large collection.

PeriplanetaAmericana Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 It's a Family Blaberidae nynph I think. It seem like Blaberus nyph but I'm not sure about it. Best regards, Javier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
