Roach ID

Are hissers uncommon in collections in your area? Those are some very nice looking 'roaches you have there, I'm definitely envious.

I intend to trade part of my collection for some hissers and would like to ask your opinions first before I do anything that lacks of intellectual acuity. I'd really appreciate you sharing any ideas. Don't worry about being blunt with me. ;)

Thank you so much guys. Roach keeping is still relatively a new hobby from where I come from. It's begun to have a healthy following in here in the past year or so. I am interested in expanding my hisser colony as well as adding some new interesting species to my frail collection of roaches.

I also have had some success breeding these beauties and will update here when time permits. My current priority is to get them properly IDed! :lol:

Working on the i.d. , but also: Can you trade roaches with persons in the Phillipines? If so, I may be able to have them supply to you hissers and other species. While I am in the USA, an acquaintance of mine is in that country and has a good supply of them....

 
Nice job breeding these! I too love the last ones, they have a Blaberusish look to them. Have you tried sexing them the usual last-ventral-segment-of-abdomen way?

 
Here are some pictures to share:

I really like these roaches...!!

 
Cameron Highlands, Malaysia = possibly Morphna near badia

Rotten bark of a dead tree in Kemensah Heights, Malaysia = Morphna sp

Humid leaf litter, ground dweller - Kemensah Heights, Malaysia = probable immature of above

Rhypharobia is only found in Afrotropical region.

cheers

Thanks Darren. I'm beginning to love this forum more by the day!

Here's something new. I found this single roach in the secondary woods near my house while on a short walk there. Took it back home for a few shots. It was released back where it was found afterwards. Figured a single specimen wouldn't do much good in my collection unless it's possible to breed.

This is by far, the most exciting find! :D

Length: Approx. 2 inches

Primary colour: Dark Red /Maroon

Secondary colour:White antennae

Location: Up a small tree - Ampang Jaya, Malaysia


Speed: Slow


Musk: Non-musking


Climber: Not observed


Fly: Not observed


Burrow: Not observed


Sexual dimorphism: Not apparent (only a lone specimen found).
