mantisfan101 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 In addition to the species that were deregulated, I found a whole myriad of roach species native to my state that I'd like to keep. They are- Ischnoptera deropeltiformis Supella longipalpa Ectobius pallidus Cryptocercuc punctulatus Parcoblatta uthleriana Parcoblatta divisa Does anyone know how to find any of these species? I know how to find the parcoblatta sp, but does anyone know how to find the rest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Supella will be a pest inside of houses, Cryptocercus will be inside of rather large, rotten logs, and I believe I.derepeltiformis should inhabit the same niches as Parcoblatta. I'm not exactly sure on the Ectobius though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 You'll want to look for Ectobius spp. in shrubbery and such in urbanized areas, they might come to lights too. Sweep netting would probably be a good way to catch some I'd think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only came to the lights that were near the field, so they must not travel much.

I'm not exactly sure on the Ectobius though. I have found C. wrighti in fairly small logs. I think the more important thing is hardwood logs.
