Arthroverts Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hello all, so recently I was nosing about under some pots (like I usually do), and I found this: : Apologies for the poor quality, it was completely dark when I took the photos and the camera didn't have enough time to focus once the flash went off. Anyway, just your regular Blatta lateralis. Pretty, but not very exciting. But that got me thinking. What species would you most like to find under a pot/log/stone? Say you are on a trip to somewhere, you flip over a log and bam! What species would you like to see? For me it'd be Blaberus/Eublaberus sp., or possibly some cool Panchlora sp. Thanks, Arthroverts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 In terms of species that I could find under things, I'd have to say either "Quadrihormetica" onorei, Melyroidea magnifica, or some Zuluia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthroverts Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 O.K, so what about not under things? What species would you want to find? Thanks, Arthroverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Arthroverts Probably some odd, large Corydiid or Eurycotis pluto. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Arthroverts Pilema sp. females and nymphs in their burrows, hands down, my most wanted invertebrate... 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Menagerie Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I do not know much about it, but I would want to see Polyzosteria mitchelli. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantisfan101 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 That’s a lot of feeder roaches right there...with that said, I’d definitely go for megablatta longipennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varnon Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I found lots of wood roaches growing up. A few years ago, I found pale bordered field roach in my yard. I was not able to contain it or find another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
