Hisserdude 878 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Really cool! They almost blend in with that grey bark! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bufo Bill 17 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 They remind me of these sweets I used to buy as a kid, they were called butter mints or something similar, they had that caramel candy colour like these guys, though the mints probably tasted better. That's my way of saying "cool roach, well done"! All the best from Bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Wow...looks like the hot weather is trigger my ooths to hatch! These, Latiblatte rehni, and both species of Balta are all hatching in large numbers! I'm piled by nymphs now. LOL On a side note, I no longer believe these are Latiblattella, but possibly a new species of Euthlastoblatta because the ooth of this species resembles E. gemma and E. diaphana ooths I had, and newly hatched nymphs are ant mimics just like 1st instar E. diaphana I had.

Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Went to the place where I found these, but could not find any. I guess they are either 1st instar or haven't hatched yet around this time of the year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cariblatta lutea 259 Posted December 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 My family decided to visit Destin this week for family vacation so I tagged along. This time I got super lucky because I ended up with 9 Euthlastoblatta sp. nymphs! Hopefully I'll be able to breed this species again 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
