Sexing Eurycotis floridana

[Mandem]

Hello all,

Can anyone give me any pointers on sexing Florida's tropical roaches (Eurycotis floridana)?

Thanks,

Mandem

You can sex them just as other roaches without sexual dimorphism.

You have to look the ventral face of their abdomen:

Hi,

How do you know they are E. floridana and not B.orientalis or something else? Are they adults? Females of most egg laying roaches including Eurycotis have valve-like segments used to form eggcases at the end of the ventral sternites (=underside segments). Can you post photos of the underbelly?
