Hisserdude Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Here are some pics of my Burmese beetle mimic roaches! Female: Male (with the female in the background): I also got some footage of the male courting the female, he ultimately failed, but it was still fun to watch. I'll try and upload it to youtube some time this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Looks like the male is not very enthusiastic Hope they mated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah, he was just slowly following the female around, after I took the video he just sat on her for about 15 minutes before I put them back in their cage. I haven't seen them mate yet, but I'm sure they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 One of my nymphs just matured into a nice big mature male, here's a picture of it while it is still hardening. I love the orange-ish color on the pronotum, too bad it'll be dark brown in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufo Bill Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice pics. I had some of these a few years back, but mine had much less of the light markings. All the best from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I wonder if they were E.pilosa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Bill Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Looking at the shape of the wing cases on your specimens compared to mine, I don't think that the two are the same species now you mention it. Mall the best from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah, Ergaula pilosa are darker and larger, and the males usually a dot of cream on their wings rather than a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Very nice!! Do you have hardwood leaves in with them? Are you feeding them dry dog food kibble and apple? Do you have an entire moist substrate with a dry surface? Do you have them at 75 F? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I have a layer of dead leaves in the enclosure at all times, and I supplement them with dog food and carrots. I keep the whole substrate moist, and I let the top layer dry out sometimes. I keep them probably lower than that, I don't know the exact temps in my room but they are in the low 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making sure I was keeping them correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
