Why is it generally said everywhere that this species is extinct in the wild? I have not seen a single official document confirming this information. It is not in the IUCN directory either.

I have a question for the forum participants. In what conditions do you keep Henschoutedenia flexivitta? Mainly interested in moisture, substrate.

A few days ago, several adults and about two dozen Elliptorhina coquereliana (Saussure, 1863) nymphs from Moscow will come to me. They were caught in the north of Madagascar - the natural range of this species. Earlier, I carried out identification using material from this culture (external...

Earlier this week, I was presented with 7 middle aged nymphs Therea nuptialis (Gerstaecker, 1861). This species is very rare in culture, and for me, collecting Corydiinae, this is a very desirable acquisition. I hope that after the nymphs enter the imago, I will be able to get a sufficient...

Here, in Russia and the CIS in general, many do not even suspect that there are different types. Most believe that there is simply "Madagascar hissing cockroach." Others, however, think that any black cockroach is Princisia. 😄 This is all because no one has seriously studied and is not engaged...

Yet Princisia is variable. Even the holotype differs from the paratypes. In addition, in natural populations, individuals with completely black abdomenal tergites are found (as confirmation, a specimen collected by J. Beccaloni). The main and invariable is the shape of the pronotum - its front...

Раньше я собирал тараканов из определенных групп, но теперь решил избавиться от сопутствующих видов, не представляющих интереса для специфики сбора. Прежде всего, я избавился от Blaberinae и Blattidae. Потом из других групп. Сейчас моя коллекция сильно поредела 😜, остались только (как и...

They eat :)

А это его переднеспинка

Здравствуйте :) Мой кобель Princisia vanwaerebeki, от Y. Bernhard 

Friends, please tell us under what conditions do you incubate ootheca of your Polyphaga (P. saussurei, P. aegyptiaca)? Interested in all information - duration, humidity, temperature, etc.

I collect materials on the authors of Gromphadorhini tribe taxa and cannot find information on Christian Van Herrewege. It is known that he died in 2002, in Lyon, but there is no other information. To know at least the date of birth of this entomologist. Still, this is a key figure in the study...

I have been given several individuals of Ergaula, but they are unmarked. Do you think this is E. capucina or E. pilosa? The male size is about 30 mm (or less). And another question that worries me is: can these two species interbreed?

Of all the Blattodea, I am most interested in the species of the Gromphadorhini tribe (probably noticeable in my nickname :lol: ). Naturally, I strive to collect all kinds of this group of cockroaches. In any case, those that are in laboratory culture. For a long time I’ve been looking for...

I'd like to get these two types of millipedes :. Chicobolus spinigerus and Narceus gordanus 'Gold' Ocala. Maybe someone has? Or maybe someone knows where you can buy with delivery to Moscow or St. Petersburg?

I have been engaged in Gromphadorhini species for quite some time and throughout the whole time, and I observe in all cultures without exception a whitish coating on the tergites of the male abdomen. I noticed that it appears only in mature males, who are very active and exhibit pronounced...

Hello dear like-minded people! I am very glad that there are so many of us — Blattodea lovers around the world. Thank you very much to the forum administration for hosting me here! I have been doing Blattodea for over 20 years. His main interests are the tribe Gromphadorhini, the family...
