Hisserdude Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 One of my nymphs has matured into a beautiful adult male! Really love the wing venation on this species, looks really primitive to me, like something from the fossil record! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 I got oothecae!! And here's an adult female, (at least I'm pretty sure it's an adult): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matttoadman Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 So there is almost no info on these out there. Care to give a little info? They remind me of African termites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They remind me of African termites. They usually live in or near ant nests in the wild, and live in some of the southern states. They are pretty easy to care for in captivity, they like things moist, with plenty of hides, and must have easy access to their food, (so don't keep them in a huge container or put their food in a bowl). They are incredibly TINY, especially the hatchling nymphs, (and I just found some in their enclosure BTW! ) and the oothecae have a pretty fast development time, only a few weeks it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlattaAnglicana Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Are the ones in the most recent photos the same ones / same generation as the hatchlings from a few photos above? or are they a later generation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the same generation as those hatchlings in the above post, they're all grown up now! (Or nearly so at least!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
