Salmonsaladsandwich Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Are the 1st instar nymphs the same pure black color as the adult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Are the 1st instar nymphs the same pure black color as the adult? They are grayish black in color, but eventually develop more red and yellow into them as they grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hey those are beautiful! And it seems that they are doing veeery well! Ya. So far the nymphs have molted to L2 and my oothecae look healthy so I'm expecting to have a healthy colony soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphaenogaster Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think that Periplaneta nymphs have beautiful appearance. It's strange that the genus has such a reputation for being "ugly." I suppose that, if you find a roach in your silverware drawer, it doesn't matter much what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that, if you find a roach in your silverware drawer, it doesn't matter much what it looks like. IKR? Nymphs are really eye catching and some of the species retain beautiful coloration as adults (i.e. P. australasiae). Wish more people took interest in this genus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm seeing 4th instars in the enclosure now! Not too far from getting adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Subadult female. These reminds me of African bullet roaches due to the similar pronotum pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Nice, this is a very pretty Periplaneta species! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Nice, this is a very pretty Periplaneta species! Indeed. Wish I could get pics of the other nymphs with much better coloration since they look so awesome, but these suckers won't pose for me.

Cariblatta lutea Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Had a first adult emerge this week (and it's a female). Hoping to see more specimens mature soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Interestingly, these guys are not as big as other Periplaneta. Female I have is only about the size of my Parcoblatta lata, and my subadults are around that size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Good! Can these guys become house pests, or do they live outside but wander in from time to time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
