Keith Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 One long wing, one short wing. The short wing is not chewed, it kind of curls under, and I dont see any under wing, it even is angled where the left wing is straight. Look at the cerci, they are even 2 different sizes. Freak male or hermaphrodite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfox Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Looks like a normal male that had a molting issue. I see it every so often; not sure of the exact cause but it's not fatal or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 You may be the lucky owner of a gynandromorph. One half male, other female. How can I tell, the abdomen looks male, but the body parts are odd and even bad molts haven't fully matched this crazy oddity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 The underside of the long wing looks the same as the right, but dubia are variable so even a slight difference on each side could be hard to spot right? That Hisser is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It doesn't look like a gyandromorph because there's no clear division, the short wing doesn't look female, and the long cerci is on the wrong side. The hisser gyandromorph is from the Allpet Roaches site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneBOhio Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Wow, that's strange. I've never had any roaches get chewed while they were molting but I have noticed that some of the older males get their wings chewed, not badly though. If it is half male and half female, can it mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
