Xenoblatta Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hello friends!! There are pictures in internet of the genus Capucina that looks a little doubtful... the main difference between Capucina and the rest of Zetoborinae genus is the soft pubescence over their tegmina. Some time ago I've collected some mystery Zetoborinae nymphs that I though was some kind of Lanxoblatta; but surprise!! now I have my first Capucina group ? I'm not sure if C.patula (only species in the genus), but as soon as one adult die I'll check it out. NOTE: Take a look over the right corner of the pronotum in this adult... when they get wet, their pubescence absorbs the moisture and change the colour (...gets darker, like a cloth ? ) Enjoy it! ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizentrop Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Lovely! This is a species I have not yet seen in the wild. I must admit, they are much smaller than I originally thought. Very cute roach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
