KitKatie329 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'm still waiting for a bunch of my species to molt out adults, but here's a few pictures of a couple of my species I took today and wanted to share. I've also been re-working my setup and I can't wait to post pictures of it when it's done, I'll have a full before, during, and after to post with complete species pictures! A. tesselata nymphs: A. insignis: G. portentosa nymphs: E. distanti (excuse the dirt under my nails, it's substrate): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKatie329 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks everyone! The second I have the money for it I'll be finishing my "game of roach Tetris" closet, and there will be toooons of pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Beautiful photos! Do you have any A. insignis adults though, that one on your hand looks pretty big for a nymph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Is it a nymph? I could have sworn it was an adult, but that was just based on size... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm thinking adult too, but you said you were waiting for a bunch to molt out adults so I was wondering what you thought of it. In hindsight it seems like a weird thing to ask because the Eublaberus is an adult too! Ignore me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Aeluropoda insignis is probably the only species I have trouble determining the age of. Some adults lack the wing pad markings and others have them; generally this is a sign of an adult but the nymphs can have it too. You can be pretty sure you have an adult male if there's a distinct notch in the pronotum exposing the head almost entirely, as well as thick, fuzzy antennae.

KitKatie329 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Oh I can totally see how you thought that, yeah I have the nymphs marked as so. :] That's definitely an adult. Thanks for clearing up the difference Zephyr (that's one of the nymphs you sent me, was like an inch long 2 months ago)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
