Has anyone bred Ischnoptera bilunata before?

[Lucanus]

I went to Lake Martin today and found some roaches in sand that I believe are Ischnoptera bilunata. It seems that this species hasn't been describes much so I was unable to find much info on them. Has anyone bred this species before?

I don't know much about them, but I want some lol.

Are they some sort of wood roach? I am trying to keep parcoblatta,

too bad my mom is allergic to roaches

This species is in the same genus as Black wood roach so I guess they are wood roaches

Parcoblattas are really cool species to keep. I am keeping like 50+ of Parcoblatta zebra (?) right now

Hope you successfully breed them

Do the zebra ones need a cold period?

Do the zebra ones need a cold period?

Do you mean they need cold period for reproduction?

I am not sure. I found the adults around june this year and their offsprings are still too young to confirm that.

With the Parcoblatta around here they need a cold period for them to mature and continue their lives. But I guess the more southern species don't.
