Ischnoptera deropeltiformis injury

[DeadIntheBasement]

i was capable of finding what i believe to be Ischnoptera deropeltiformis today but when i got home i noticed it was injured!...i think

it looks like it is missing a piece of its exoskeleton? think it will survive? i am not sure if this injury was already there or happened during the transport home

 

[DeadIntheBasement]

actually i think it is just from where it "glued" me and then the dusty leaves in the container stuck to it.....

after i gave it a mist it looks fine i think....hopefully i panicked for nothing

best photo i can get as of now ...my camera fails at taking photos indoors

peter you might want to move this thread since i only put it in the section because i thought the roach was going to die and i panicked :lol:

It is even prettier now that it is cleaned up. That first pic was kind of scary. :lol:

Awesome, it's one of those American species nobody ever seems to find! Congrats (and another congrats for after you build a colony )!
