pannaking22 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 At what age can you accurately sex roaches? I have several species that are only nymphs now and I'm curious if they can be sexed when they're ~half grown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pannaking22 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Pretty much any that I have listed, also G. oblongata. I'm not too worried about the Gyna since they are so small, but I'm curious about the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 On the last segment on ALL MALE roaches will be much smaller than the females which will be much larger than the males. Take a look at your adult hisser males and females and test it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Or nymphs, I would say anything that is 4 instars in is probably safe to sex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
