simandoa conserfariam sexage

[histrio]

hi, I breed this beautifull sp and I'm looking for photo or informations about the difference male/female... The 10 first adults seems to be the same sex: male....I saw yesterday an adult more long. from over; I could see more zebra band yellow/black, perhaps female ?

thx

Sexing this species is similar to sexing other Blaberids, on males the last ventral segment is very small, and on the female it is very large.

See here: (Not my pic BTW)

It is pretty easy to sex them this way, hope this helps! (And I hope you have some females in there!).
