Domino roach male:female ratio

[macbrush]

About a year ago, a seller gave me a few Dominos as gift when i was purchasing other stuffs from him. Those quickly died but left me quite a few egg capsules. I left them alone for many months until I saw some movements in the substrate, and I started feeding them. Surprisingly (to me), I ended up quite a few of them.

Anyway, now I have about 20 adults, and still there are some nymphs under the substrate. They have been matured for over 2 months now, but I have yet seen any new egg cases. So I examined them carefully, and I couldn't find any females, they all have very long antennae.

So my question is that whether it is normal for Domino roaches to have a very high male ratio?

Cheers

Yes, however, there is another factor in your case. Males are also usually the first to emerge. Check the abdomenal segments on your nymphs.

Thanks, I really hope that some of the nymphs down there are females, I probably wouldn't bother them, I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
