Betta132 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 This pic was on Pinterest without a name. It came up on Google when I was looking up "rough bark roach" to show someone photos of those. What is this cutie and where can I get some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 A Nyctiborinae species nymph, likely Nyctibora or Paratropes, but without rearing it to adulthood there's no way to be sure... Neither are being cultured in the hobby, and no one's ever gotten their oothecae to hatch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betta132 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Oh, that's too bad. The Paratropes roaches in particular are gorgeous. Imagine a bin where you flip over a piece of bark and there's 20 of those under it! LIke some kind of weird abstract painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Paratropes are gorgeous, but they aren't the type of roach you'd find under bark... More like the type that'll fly out of the enclosure as soon as you open up the lid, they are aboreal after all! 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betta132 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Ah, well then the abstract painting can be on your face! It's the hot new makeup trend; live and unrestrained roaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the best makeup trend ever lol, Now if only we could figure out how to hatch their ooths... 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyna adults could be considered aboreal, as could Panchlora adults... Pseudoglomeris magnifica are rather easy to breed and aboreal, but very expensive and can be slow growing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gyna lurida, caffrorum, and centurio, along with panchlora(regular and apparently "giants" whatever species that is...). Pseudoglomeris magnifica look amazing! Are they hard to come by? Maybe one day try my hand at those. Or any other kinds of panchlora/gyna if there are any. As always, thank you hisserdude Sorry for hijacking OP!

Pseudoglomeris magnifica are very expensive right now, and I only know of one vendor in the US who sells them, (@Bmaines96), but they are absolutely beautiful! And there are a few other Gyna species in captivity but they are very finicky, as well as a few other Panchlora species. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
