arachyd Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 This light-colored roach was in with my dubias. It doesn't look like any of my other species. Could someone ID it for me? Sorry for the bad pic, I keep them in clouded plastic bins and it would not let me get a pic from above. It is black with light yellowish-tan stripes (or vice versa). The markings on the head are orange and black with a clear tan border. The dubia tend to show themselves occasionally and hide most of the time but I can always count on seeing this one out in the open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Another dubia; just a color phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arachyd Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Will it keep these colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff P Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Will it keep these colors? It may, but to me it looks more like a newly matured female that hasn't fully hardened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Many species of roaches are variable in thier coloration. This is a normal dubia female in the picture. Not all species of roaches make exact copies (clones) of each other- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
