Ralph Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Always fun to see what new tiny species you're working on! These sure look fast, and have really impressive leg spines... Do you know the purpose of the curved ooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the purpose of the curved ooth? Oh ya. Not only are these fast, but they also FLY so they can be pain in the butt to take pics sometimes. LOL Unfortunately, I don't know what purpose the curve serves for, but I have a feeling that it's to make the oothe look more like a seed.

lecole4 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 XD Should have known! Ah, the struggles of a roach hobbyist. Impressive specimens anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 These guys are still doing great for me. Interestingly it's the only Ectobiid I have that seem to do well with large T. tormentosa population (and may even prey on them as I've seen these guys eating A. vulgare before). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Beautiful species and glad to see they're doing well for you! Might have to get some of these in the future since I've really enjoyed my Ischnoptera sp. Costa Rica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fairly cheap on roachcrossing.com so I think it's worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
