Brandon_rss18 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hey everyone! Well I was moving some dead rotting wood around the back yard to put in my hissers cage. I was cleaning out their cage the other day and found this guy in there. i dont know if he was hiding in the wood or what. For reference I live in Baytown, TX. I sent an email to Texas A&Ms entomology dept. and they could not help me. So anyways, I am hoping some of you guys and gals might be able to help. Without further ado..........

Brandon_rss18 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well I was going to add more pics but they are all too large and I am on my phone at work. I will get some more up when I get home tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon_rss18 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Okay well while looking around on the site, I found this guy. He looks a lot like mine but he is from Africa? Maybe he was mixed in with my hissers but I didnt notice him. Hmmmm. henschoutedenia flexivitta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon_rss18 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Awesome! That is the correct id! The black band across the eyes is a dead giveaway! But now this has me concerned that the pet store that sold these to me might not have sold me hissers. I am new to roaches so I took their word for it. Here is a pic of what was sold to me as a hisser. Let me know what yall think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
