Default Creobroter sp IGM 174

Another new addition thanks again to Kev, never had a Creobroter sp 1st instar with this colouration before, normally the head is a different colour to the rest of the body.

1st instar

These were first cultured by the Japanese but that didn't last too long. We reintroduced them and got an IGM number for them.

Some photos of our recently turned adults:

Thanks Shaik, have you got any decent pics of 1st instars (mine don't do them justice).

All mine are now 2nd's, again different colouration to other Creobroters I've kept.

They sure are an evoloutionary link between the creobroter genus and Theopropus no matter what anyone says, the ooths, 1st instar nymphs and the adult colouration just to name a few of the similarities

Yeah Andrew, here you go.






These could possibly be C. urbanus but since the Creobroter genus is a big mess and needs revision, I've been advised to exclude the species for now.

Current species:
Acromantis sp. IGM 181, Caliris elegans, Creobroter sp. IGM 174, Deroplatys desiccata, Deroplatys lobata IGM 186, Deroplatys trigonodera, Deroplatys truncata, Gongylus gongylodes, Hestiasula brunneriana, Hierodula sp., Hymenopus coronatus IGM 187, Odontomantis sp. IGM 188, Phyllocrania paradoxa, Statilia sp. IGM 189, Theopropus elegans IGM 175, Toxodera beieri
