ID please...

[Huntsman]

Any ideas?

It's a little blurred, but is a different species to the other roaches in the pic...

 

[Allpet Roaches]

It looks like a nymph.

78. Rhypharobia maderae = Madieran Cockroach

 

[Zephyr]

Golden species perhaps?

 

[EffeCi]

Yeah, it looks like a subadult of the golden kind...

 

[Allpet Roaches]

Golden species perhaps?

It doesn't look that light to me.

 

[Huntsman]

I have small colonies of both, and this is definitely darker than the rest of the goldi, but lighter than the dark variety, so perhaps the colour will change in the next moult? :huh:

It does look kind of in the middle, maybe it's a "goldi" that's darker because it's getting different nutrients from eating its pallid roach tankmates. You'll have to post a photo when it's an adult.

A good rule is: When is doubt, grow it out!

:lol: @ Matt...Heh heh!

Yep, your advice is solid, guys, but it's in a holding tank right now, and I wanted to move it in the correct direction if possible. No matter, I have about eight difficult-to-ID roaches in the holding tank, and once I get some of the others ID - hopefully here - I can thin it out. You guys up for that?
