Guest AmerBamer Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Found this half inch nymph inside, already dead, unfortunately. It has us stumped! Some think oriental, but it doesn't seem uniform in color enough for that. It is one half an inch long. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmerBamer Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 United States in north Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmerBamer Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I asked an entomologist here, and even he wasn't totally sure from the picture, but he theorized smoky brown nymph. I feel like the coloration for that isn't quite right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although my knowledge on them and what their nymphs look like is virtually nonexistent lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 @Auz Nah this is a Blattid nymph, pretty sure it's just a dark Periplaneta fuliginosa nymph, they are pretty common in Georgia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmerBamer Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks @Auz and @Hisserdude! I was secretly hoping I had stumbled across something unique. The picture doesn't really do it justice as far as the colors. It's got some really pretty red tones in it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sadly it just looks like a fuliginosa nymph with atypical coloration, doesn't make it any less pretty though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
