Interesting dubia coloration

[lovebugfarm]

I found this female who recently molted the first pic is how I found her 2 days ago I have better pics but can't post them here second will be what she looks like today. Will she darken up more or is this her color? Fairly sure she's unmated which is exciting.

Ooh, very interesting, if it's really been 2 days then I doubt her color will change much, looks like you have a very interesting color morph in your colony! I'd isolate her and wait to see if any light colored males show up, if they do then mate them with her.

Yeah I'm pretty excited to see if it can be isolated and the strain perfected. Hopefully roaches can be line bred.

I'm interested to see what the male would look like. Very nice.

I have seen some with red in their pattern looking almost like death head. I will have to look under their wings to confirm they have calico pattern
