Zephyr Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I got these from James@Blaberus. They look like all the parabolicus I've seen pics of, except they have very strange, red colors. Is this just hypopigmentation due to dietary causes? I've only had them about 2 months, so whatever caused it, it's not in my food. lol Old pronotum: Adult male: Nymphs More nymphs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo of an adult does not look like a parabolicus to me, though the pronotum in the first photo all by itself looks like a normal parabolicus pronotum detached from what may have been a normal parabolicus. But the live photo 'male'- looks discoidish or otherwise not-a-parabolicus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Where did your stock originate from Matt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Where did your stock originate from Matt? Ummm.... can't remember. I think I know, but I had mixed stories come to me from looking into that so its a little unclear. From what I can gather, Orin had the first colony in the US, but you'd have to ask him.

Ralph Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 You should post some pics of yours to compare/contrast with Zephyr's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 You should post some pics of yours to compare/contrast with Zephyr's. I did somewhere around here. Photo section maybe. I'll look for it an post a link or something..... ....oh here it is on page 5 or 6 of the photogallery.... ... All four roaches were photographed in the exact same location, at the same time of day, the same distance from the camera lens, so comparison should be fairly accurate.

Allpet Roaches Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 They should be twice the mass of your discoids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 So far the males definitely are; there's only one adult female so I'm not too sure about her (she seems a little small anyways.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
