Martin Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Thank you! Yes sure, but how do you make up the names? is it freely? and just add to the list? I have some recommendations, i will prepare the list and put it here for your consideration. Thank you, Best regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 We have: 63. Periplaneta americana = American Cockroach 64. Periplaneta americana ("white eye" strain) = White Eye American Cockroach Isn't there a Periplaneta americana "Black" strain? Common name could be: Black American Cockroach. I know there is the new Periplaneta americana "Venom" that could be added (and I think this strain was created via the black strain). This could simply be called Venom American Cockroach (or Venom Villain American Cockroach, for fun). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
