Phortioeca phoraspoides?

[Habibi18]

That reminded me of a roach from Costa Rica someone posted up on the Allpet Roaches forum in May of 06 but when I looked it up they don't look anything like those.http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5394/10...ancockroach.jpg

Those are cool looking. Do the photos come from your blog or what? Would like a link to it because I've got a feeling it's about insects or something of the sort. Thankies. And Google can be a pain in the butt when you're trying to look up something and it's not there.

Hate that. It has happened to me loads of times. Too many to count.

What species are the roaches in the pics?

That looks like the same thing! It appears somewhat smaller, maybe it's just in the same genus. Looks like a male, if other roach standards apply for Phortioeca.

It does appear to be a male, and likely related but not the same genus. This cockroach is an unidentified species found in Costa Rica, the pictures were originally posted by one of our members (the lady who owns that blog) in 06 but the old picture links were lost when the thread was transferred.

Here is a photo of one taken by a young man in Brazil who happens to love macrophotography:
