Third Instar
Hey guys,
I am starting this topic for a friend who doesn't have an account on here.
So, my friend keeps hissers and added a few Archimandrita tesselata nymphs and adults from a local insect convention to her collection.
She just messaged me in a panic because one of the supposedly Archimandrita nymphs reached adulthood but looks kind of not archimandrita-ish to her. The roach in question is apparently rather small compared to her other adults, like half the size, but for me it's the giant unshaped blotch on its pronotum that's kinda throwing me off. It also appears to be still very light-colored, so it's kinda hard to tell tbh.
Are we just blind or was there a possible mix-up at the convention? If so, what species could this fellow be?
I'll ask her for more photos once its colors come through properly.
As always, thank you in advance
