tjmi2000 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Eublaberus distanti on top and more than likely, Blaberus discoidalis on bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Top species is Eublaberus sp. "Ivory/White." Bottom species is Blaberus discoidalis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmdPhenomX4 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Top species is Eublaberus sp. "Ivory/White." Bottom species is Blaberus discoidalis. Cool. Is it ok if they live together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yes, they can live together and will not hybridize, etc. However, if you want to breed them, I suggest separating the two species; otherwise they may eat each other's young and one species will eventually dominate and drive the other extinct.

Zephyr Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thank you. Also a couple more Ids, Probably an odd Blaberus discoidalis, but it could possibly be a B. discoidalis x B. boliviensis, or Blaberus sp. "Venezuala." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I got around 70 roaches for free, 40 being the e.distanti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "E. distanti" you're referring to are the ones from the first two photos, they're E. sp. "Ivory/White," not E. distanti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait whats the scientific name? And where did you find the information? I wanted to use as feeders, but they seem interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 That adult looks pretty tan to me. The pronotum pattern is off. E. distanti adult. *somewhat freshly molted* E. sp. "White" (From CodeWilster) E. distanti compared to E. sp. "White" (From Matt K) Contrary to the name, they can have orange pronotums as well; it varies with how many color enhancing foods they eat.
