I'm actually fairly certain the white eye mutation in roaches causes blindness. However they have so many sensory hairs covering their body that it hardly makes a difference. 😂 They're able to carry on pretty much completely normally. Though I do hear watching white eyed Periplaneta trying to mate is rather funny since the males will sometimes kinda just walk backwards blindly trying to find the female they were courting to hook up with, oftentimes bumping into other males and nymphs in the process.

Matttoadman Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 So I found an article about white eyed Americans being more aggressive to non white eyed individuals. Have you noticed any behavioral differences in this species? I have recently became an Associate Certified Entomologist and I am interested in doing some person research. The white eyed mutation might be something worth looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
