Sexing Eublaberus distanti?

Daniel J Sep 19, 2005 05:43 PM

Is there a way to tell a difference in Eublaberus distanti? I've never really seen them copulating or giving birth. I've got some pretty big ones with out wings and with wings. Are the one without wings a female or just one that hasn't molted to a winged one yet?

Here are pics of one of each.

At the rear of the roach the female will have one long scale and the male's is two and it's almost V-shaped. I have a picture but have not had time to make a document for the website.

Thanks James. I just sent you an e-mail, so you can ignore the e-mail, you just answered my question.

Thanks again.
