All About Arthropods Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi Guys! How long do male Parcoblatta divisa regularly live as adults? I want to know because a couple minutes ago I opened my Parcoblatta divisa container to feed my pair and noticed the male was laying under an egg crate dead and half eaten( the only thing that could have eaten the dead body was my female, because I don't have too many springtails in there and the longest he could have been dead was 1 day.) He only lived 3 weeks as an adult. Is this the a normal lifespan as an adult or is this possibly a case of the dreaded entomophagous fungus!?

Salmonsaladsandwich Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Nah, you'd know if he got eaten by a fungus. An adult male dying is nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's normal for the males of this genus to live less than a month. The only species I had from this genus that had males living for more than a month was P. lata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
