Ozymandias Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 hi all i'm new hear actually found this place because i breed roaches for my geckos (b. lateralis, b. dubia and B. discoidalis) my question is is there a comprehensive list of all the non-climbing/non-flying species of roaches?

Zephyr Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I can think of... Eublaberus prosticus Eublaberus distanti Eublaberus sp. "Ivory" Blaberus boliviensis Blaberus fusca (can flutter a little) Blaberus parabolicus Blaberus atropos Byrsotria sp. "Cuba" Blatta orientalis Paratemnopteryx couloniana Those are all non-climbing/flying feeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 A lot of the "really cool" ornamentals can either fly or climb (or both!) Here are a few quirky ones that you may find somewhat applicable: Lucihormetica sp. (Adults can climb) Panchlora sp. (Adults can climb/fly) Archimandrita tesselata (Adult males can supposedly fly; females get too fat to even attempt it) Blaberus giganteus (Adults can fly but don't tend to) Blaberus colloseus (Adults cannot fly to my knowledge) Polyphaga aegyptiaca Gyna sp. (Adults can climb and readily fly) Hemiblabera tenebricosa Byrsotria rothi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 what about non flying one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Archimandrita tesselata (Adult males can supposedly fly; females get too fat to even attempt it) Just wanted to add: The adult males can maintain level or slightly downward flight for a good distance, but they don't fly too readily and don't seem to make much effort at going up.

Zephyr Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Lucihormetica sp. (Adults can climb) Archimandrita tesselata (See above) Blaberus giganteus (Adults can fly but don't tend to) Blaberus colloseus (Adults cannot fly to my knowledge) Polyphaga aegyptiaca Hemiblabera tenebricosa Byrsotria rothi Almost forgot! Pycnoscelus femapterus (adult males can climb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
