Zephyr Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Last weekend I visited one of the American holy grails of roach locations, Florida! It was amazing to see so many Blattodea; much different than the ecosystems here up north.

Alex Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Good eye with the planchora being larger. I have seen one here in Dade County and I did not belive it was P. nivea. You saw sand habitat and its great habitat for many native species. don't you love how E. floridiana have there antennas sticking out like lobsters?? hahaha South florida is great....but South Texas is another thing..mmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That was fun to read. Was the surveying/etc your main reason for going to Florida or was it more of a sidequest? You got some Zorotypus! That's new. Also lol 1 surinam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
