ArtBug Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm zeroing in on these! Love their looks and colors. (Can't find my dang roach book - where some of the answers lie!) My questions are the same for each species - and if you own these do you have a favorite and why? Pycnoscelus indicus (Indian Roach) Climbers - Burrow - Lifespan - Egg laying/live birth ? Pycnoscelus surinamensis (Surinam Roach) Climbers - Burrow - Lifespan - Egg laying/live birth ? Oxyhalowa duesta (Red Head Roach) Climbers - Burrow - Lifespan - Egg laying/live birth ? Panchlora nivea (Green Banana Roach) Climbers - Burrow - Lifespan - Egg laying/live birth ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tecrecycling Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 My favorites are the Pycnoscelus surinamensis. These things can really eat, I can see why these things are considered invasive. They remind me of little roach versions of piranhas. Very cool, thanks Kyle/roach crossing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
