Doc Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I was checking on my lobster roach bin when I found something that definitely wasn't a lobster roach. I'm pretty sure it's a hisser, but I don't know much about how the different nymphs look. It didn't come from me. The only hissers I have are a couple G. oblongota adults and they haven't started producing yet. This one must have been a stowaway with my lobster roach order a while back. Is it too soon to know what species it is? Here are some pictures of it: I'll probably just isolate it till it molts into an adult to be sure, but I'm curious if anyone knows.

MrCrackerpants Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes, hisser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Possibly G portentosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Gromphadorhini sp. is the best way to label it. Impossible to prove it's Gromphadorhina portentosa and not another species, or an hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 It is flat, so possibly Aelorupoda insignis. I have not looked at the differences between hissers so that is just a wild guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too at first but it doesn't look like any of the other A. insignis nymphs. They're all very dark with red markings and this one is slightly orange. I think it might just be a G. portentosa, but I'll see what happens as it grows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Turns out it was an A. insignis. Its body stayed flat and it started getting darker with red accents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So...got any pics of this guy/girl after the "change"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 No I just put it in the A. insignis colony. I highly doubt I could find that same one again. I really should take some pics of them sometime they're beautiful. I just need to get my hands on a better camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
