Matttoadman Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I cannot believe how huge these are! This guy is bigger than my Eublaberus “pantanal” and my Blaberus fusca. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 They sure do get big! Some the ones I used to keep got to the size of my B. giganteus nymphs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 I received 6 in December from Orin. I think the largest was maybe 1.5 inches. I’d say that guy is 3 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darker wing coloration seems to be directly related to nymphs maturing in colder temps, if you were wondering. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Really!? Mine are kept at room temperature at this time. 76 during the day 72 at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Yep, I've observed this occurance in Parcoblatta pennsylvanica and I bet the same could be true for some other winged roaches as well. Hmm, just slightly on the cooler side then. Exactly how dark is your adult? I kept mine a bit colder than that (at the time the warmest things got were around 70 F I believe) and my adults were nearly solid black so I assume yours might be a bit lighter in color? Now that I'm keeping mine on the warmer side, I'm not seeing any black or even mostly black adults. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
