What kind of roach?

[Syn]

Posting this for Franie, she found these in her dubia bin.

 

[pssh]

Just guessing. Discoids?

 

[Syn]

I don't think they are discoids, they are pretty small. I'll have her send me a picture of them next to something for size reference.

N. cinera. Lobster roaches.

That's what we had thought. Franie said she was confused thinking they weren't because she thought they were both supposed to have wings.

 

[ijmccollum]

I think only males have wings.

 

[KShook]

Yeah I would say they are Lobsters..I have some right now, Mine look like that. Males have the wings and females dont.

 

[Lizardlover]

Both males and females have wings. Nymphs do not, in their final stage, however, they are the same size as adults, just without wings.

Yep those are lobster roaches!

Ewwwwwwwwwww. Let me send you some of my turks....

 

[FroggtheCham]

hahahaha!!! uuummmmm..........NO!!! You can keep those!! I got these by accident, I'm not gonna do it on purpose!!!! And, don't even think about stuffing some in the gecko box!!!!

 

[ijmccollum]

okay, I was thinking blatta lateralis which are dimorphic in regard to wings.

Oh no, if those were turks I'd have known off the bat! I have a colony of those in the bathroom under lock and key....

Lock and key!?! I just have mine in the bathroom in a ventilated tub.

 

[FroggtheCham]

Hehe!! Lock and key you say??? I entertained the idea of supergluing the lid on!!!! Would work good, until I needed to feed them or feed them off.

Where I live, they are already an established species. That means, if they get out there is no reason they wouldn't become a huge problem, quickly.

I have thought of it, until I realized the styrofoam that I have as a second security would melt.

Guess living where it gets "hades" cold does have some benefits.
