DonaldJ Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Only a couple of hours since the molt, but this is the first adult from the nymphs I've had since last autumn. Time to reach adulthood is a little more than 6 months, which is a lot less than the 12 months I thought it would take. They grow up so fast! I hope the wings will darken; I like the sleek black look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Cool, it's really exciting when roaches become adults! Or any pet insect for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Congrats man, nice looking adult! He should darken up soon, don't worry, he'll be jet black in no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the wings darkened nicely: But now it looks like adulthood permits it to climb the smooth walls of the vivarium...go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
