Mysterious white powder


Recommended Posts

Do anyone know what is on this cockroach? It feels like powder and do not stick on the exoskeleton. I have sprayed the roach with water to wash it off (it got washed off, but came back later). My other hissers do not have this powder.

This substance only appears on hissers after they molt to adulthood and is perfectly normal. :) Some think it has something to do with desiccation prevention.
