Nicolas Rousseaux Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I firstly taught to Aeluropoda, but the pronotum doesn't look to confirm this... Wathever, a beautiful roach! Maybe it has just molted, look at the other ones besdie, they are'nt so colorfoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 If it just molted I don't think it would have black striping yet, I think its a mature roach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolas Rousseaux Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 some part of the roaches become black very quickly, here when a Gromphadorhina grandidieri or a similar speci molt, it's common to see black strips on a very clear body a few hours after the molt, but this one look strange...

wodesorel Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 According to the website it came from: http://www.cic-net.co.jp/blog/cat6/aeluropoda_insignis/ It's a freshly molted Aeluropoda insignis. His seem to be a really nice size compared to mine! And WOW does he have some neat species! Love google translate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled the species because I never heard of it before, what a beauty can't believe some are near red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodesorel Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 They really are gorgeous, and the thing I love most about them is that their antenna are nearly as long as they are! It takes a lot of light for all their color to show, so a flash on a camera brings it out very strongly, otherwise they're a rich red-brown. I haven't caught any of mine molting so I haven't seen if they normally turn that shade of yellow afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Very cool! I noticed they are very thin compared to most hissers, is that the way they usually are, or are some newly shed and still gaining weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierre72 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yes both species ARE beautiful, especially Keiths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodesorel Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 They're easy to breed, too. I started out with I think four (two males and two females) a year ago. Last night my husband walked into the invert room and all the very large nymphs were lined up on one side of the see-through plastic bin like they do every night, and he told me it was time to "find new homes for some of them." Guess there were a little too many for comfort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wodesorel Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Finally caught two of mine after molting, and thought of this topic.
