Lucanus Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 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 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreidsma Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Do the zebra ones need a cold period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreidsma Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
