Last weekend I visited one of the American holy grails of roach locations, Florida! :P It was amazing to see so many Blattodea; much different than the ecosystems here up north.

Good eye with the planchora being larger. I have seen one here in Dade County and I did not belive it was P. nivea.

You saw sand habitat and its great habitat for many native species. don't you love how E. floridiana have there antennas sticking out like lobsters?? hahaha

South florida is great....but South Texas is another thing..mmmmmmmm

 
That was fun to read. Was the surveying/etc your main reason for going to Florida or was it more of a sidequest?

You got some Zorotypus! That's new. Also lol 1 surinam. :P
