island reptiles Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I found this guy in our glow spot bin very odd because it was all adults till they just started producing 2 months ago this is not a species I have in my collection and does not look like anything ive even seen (limited experience) it can not climb,looks to still be a nymph (similar looking to a Eublaberus species but not sure,its about 1.5 inches http://tinypic.com/r/qrnqjd/5 http://tinypic.com/r/20ib8fr/5 http://tinypic.com/r/2en24vl/5 very cute nymph I would like to also find out the info cause im now interested in starting a colony lol thank you mike panzarella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 really looks to a young glow spot to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windward Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm thinking the same here, with that oval body, yellow head, and particular leg spines. I know Eublaberus posticus leg spines look different and none of mine would lay on their back like that (if alive). I think you just have some individual variation in color.

island reptiles Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 yeah the color on the back and the face really looked off to me from the other large nymphs before they became adults. the nymph was also bigger in both thickness and length then the adults. guess I have too small a sample size to really think its not a glow spot we only had about 10 nymphs become adults with us so far I was judging by them.

Keith Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I googled nymphs of this and it looks very similar except the color variation, when its an adult see if it still looks different excited to see! Are you going to try growing the bioluminescent mushrooms for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Maybe in the Eublaberus genus? It is hard to tell from the pictures. Just a guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island reptiles Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I looked at the face of an adult and they look the same just the nymphs face has alot more color to it. in the bin we have the mushrooms set up just waiting for them to grow out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johningeorgia Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Biolumenescent mushrooms sound like fun to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
