NitroHydroRay Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I am currently starting a project that will involve collecting all of the species of Parcoblatta, and any tips for preparing my identification skills is greatly appreciated. Are there any good resources for identifying all species of Parcoblatta? I am aware of and have obtained the key from Blatchley, 1920 and the updated key for Florida species. Is there any way to identify the nymphs before adulthood in species that share ecology and size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Unless they're identifiable by size and color for the area (say there's only two species, one pale and one dark as nymphs) I don't think there is any chance of telling nymphs apart. Have you had luck catching some species? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroHydroRay Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Yes, I've caught one P. pensylvanica (which was easy to tell based on the size and habitat) and one mystery roach, which must be either P. uhleriana or P. virginica, based on where I am in the US.
