mtwilliams2448 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I currently keep B. Dubia and Turkish Runners. I was cleaning today and found this guy. Can anyone tell me what species this on is? His head is cut off because I couldn't get him to stay still. He has the top body structure of a dubia but the back is flat and has two little points jutting out. It doesn't look like a common house roach. Thank you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say that it might not be a Dubia ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Does does look terribly small to be a dubia. Too bad you cut off the head a video of it alive would have been helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtwilliams2448 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I honestly didn't think about it at the time. I just knew it wasn't one of my roaches. it is terribly small to be a dubia not including I have never seen a dubia with a flattened back end. it moved a lot like a turkish runner not as fast but it wasn't trying to stay still and hide. it was trying to run like hell. I wish I could have grabbed one of my cups but i didn't want him to get away! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 That is a very dry (and very dead) Shelfordella lateralis adult female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
