Inkie14 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I need help identifying this species! Caught in San Luis Obispo, California last Summer.

Cariblatta lutea Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 You found Parcoblatta americana! Any chance they will be up for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Isn't it Periplaneta americana? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Oh never mind I just looked it up sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkie14 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sweet!! Finally I know what they are! I've had them for a long time now, not knowing what in the world they were. I have 9 egg cases that I might think about selling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I would prefer subadults over oothecae since oothecae of this species seem to be very vulnerable compare to other Parcoblatta species in culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 What are the chances that they will survive if they are send in mail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 What are the chances that they will survive if they are send in mail? Depends on how well they are packed. Also, these seem to have high death rates in captivity as I had half of my culture die out within weeks after receiving them so not recommend for beginners.

RomanBuck Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Oh that's not good at all.... I thought they would be like B. lateralis but easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Oh that's not good at all.... I thought they would be like B. lateralis but easier Parcoblatta species harder than B. lateralis for me. Only the P. lata and P. virginica of the Parcoblatta species are quite easy to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Dang I figured if you send ooths put them in a small container with moisdt substrate and they would be good to ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
