What does a gravid dubia look like?

[Sabayon]

Would anyone be able to help me out with this? Is there some clear indication I can look for to tell if a female is gravid? I may just be noob, but I wasn't able to find anything under search.

If someone had pics that would be faaaaantastic, but any help at all would be appreciated

When they get ready to drop their babies there is this tube thing sticking out of their abdomen. I have never seen them actually drop the babies, but you can see the dark babies inside.

they look like a female

i haven't noticed a way to tell if its preggers-- but i guess i dont really pay that close of attention to my colony. Hundreds of females to watch. lol

Here is a video of a roach giving birth. Someone on the crestie forum posted it a while ago! It's quite gross really!
