Cariblatta lutea Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Wow those are beautiful. Thanks They are so far the most beautiful species of Parco I've ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Nice! Very striking! Did you just catch them today? I went hiking today and found 3 parcoblatta americana nymphs! Again, very nice roaches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, very nice roaches! Thanks I've actually had these for couple of months without knowing that I had this species. They look so much alike to P. divisa that it's quite impossible to distinguish them from each other until they become subadults. On a side note, congratulation on finding the americana nymphs!

Hisserdude Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Cool, it must be a nice surprise to think you have one species and you actually have two! Hope they breed for you! And thanks, I hope one of them is a male, and I hope that my adult female will last long enough to mate with him! Do the nymphs grow while they are in their cool period?

Are you giving them a cool period right now? P. americana shouldn't need that. When they are in a diapause period, their growth stops.

Hisserdude Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes I have them in diapause right now. It is pretty cold here, or at least it was, so I thought for sure they needed a cool period. Maybe I'll keep the adult female in the cool period and keep the nymphs at room temps so they can become adults? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 If you get enough I want some I am really digging the Parcoblatta species Sorry, these won't be available for sale (though I might trade them with other rare roaches).

Cariblatta lutea Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Took some size comparison pic between P. divisa and P. zebra. Both were collected from a swamp in Wetumpka, AL. Bigger one is the divisa by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
