pierre72 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The first one is a darker variation of a Peppered Roach, and the second is an interesting light-colored Flat-horned Hisser that is HUGE! It's really beautiful, red is kind of unique. Besides that its size and shape look like a hisser or Dubia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Pycnoscelus surinamensis nymph with hypo-pigmentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 not that unique, she will probably get more "normal" when she gets adult, but I just love the black marking on this one...

Keith Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That is an adult, and this is very odd color as the lines on abdomen usually go across but yours is plain black in the middle of abdomen. I've raised this species and never had any like this. You should find a nice looking male to mate her with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolas Rousseaux Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well Kaith, I'm pretty sure it's a subadult when I compare her with my other females. I've seen this coloration a few times last year, but it always turned normal when they reach adulthood :/ Peter, that's a nice one, gynandromorph or something?

I've seen this coloration a few times last year, but it always turned normal when they reach adulthood :/ Hmm, when mine got the orange/maroon dots on the side they were adults, nymphs had white dots or half orange/half white so I knew they had growing by color of those. Either way it's still pretty and if not mature mabye keep it seperate so when it does mature you'll know who it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Dubia I have one like that, I call it a "calico" dubia because as a nymph it was a various splashes of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Pycnoscelus surinamensis nymph with hypo-pigmentation. Mine often have a similar coloration shortly after they molt. I can't tell if this one is recently molted or actually this color. Awesome find either way. Looks a bit like Pycnoscelus striatus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome find either way. Looks a bit like Pycnoscelus striatus. It's been in that color for almost a week since I found him/her so I think it is safe to say that this one is hypo-pigmented His/her siblings are black by the way.

Nicolas Rousseaux Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi! so, fistly, some news of my female cf. Gromphadorhina portentosa "tricolor". I've isolated her with a nice male, looking a bit like her... I'll wait one year, if there is no reproduction because of this isolaion, then, I'll put them back in the colony. I've spotted an other nice individual in this colony, a big male (largest thorax and abdomen of the colony!) with small horns and no stripes! Here, a picture side to side with another big male: Now, not as impressive as johns' one, but a really nice Aeluropoda insignis male that happened in my colony. He's way more red than all the other roaches in the colony, and bigger than any other males I've ever had! bye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
