EffeCi 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 You can sex them just as other roaches without sexual dimorphism. You have to look the ventral face of their abdomen: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allpet Roaches 144 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hello all, Can anyone give me any pointers on sexing Florida's tropical roaches (Eurycotis floridana)? Thanks, Mandem Hi, How do you know they are E. floridana and not B.orientalis or something else? Are they adults? Females of most egg laying roaches including Eurycotis have valve-like segments used to form eggcases at the end of the ventral sternites (=underside segments). Can you post photos of the underbelly?
