Hisserdude Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 A friend of mine collected a couple Arenivaga nymphs in the Algodones Dunes, sadly it seems both are males, will still be fun keeping them though! I highly suspect they are A.darwini, they could also be A.investigata though. Sorry for the blurry pics, these were the best could get at the time: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dactylus Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That is very cool! Is there any chance that your friend could return to the dunes and look for a few females of this species for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, no, my friend doesn't seem to have plans to return to that area anytime soon, so I definitely won't be breeding these, unless I can find someone else willing to go to that area this time of year...

That's too bad. I have a special place in my heart for desert roaches! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Well, turns out I was wrong about their genders... They are both females, not males. Doesn't improve my breeding chances much at all, but hey, at least they'll live longer. Here are a few pictures of them, one may be an adult already, I don't know that for sure though: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmont Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Very cool, it's nice to see more sand roaches entering the hobby I think they would be cool to get in to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very neat little roaches, it's great that more of the native US species have been entering the hobby lately, hopefully this is a trend that will continue! That female that I thought was an adult turned out to be a subadult, she matured the other day, and underwent a significant color change! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmont Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Awesome, if you have any sand roach species Avalable and if you have any white banana roaches ( I forget there name) I'd be interested in trading anything in my for sale add or buying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
