Eggs and new hatchlings; the newborns are tiny as dirt.
Nymphs, resembling to Therea but smaller
Adult male
Seems there're less females and they don't hang out as much as males. The males are super active, especially during the day since it's a diurnal cockroach species. Despite their...
There're a good number of Byrsotria rothi nymphs showing up in my colony, so I was trying to sex them today. After checking around 20 roaches I've became quite confused; usually it only takes me a glance to sex a nice sized roach nymph, but Byrsotria nymphs... they all look similar! The terminal...

Well it is...
