I checked on my Blaptica dubia today and the first thing I saw was this:
It looked to me like one of them had been eaten!
Well, I kept looking and then I see this:
I'm assuming that this big one (who didn't look like this when it came to me) is a male because of the wings. I've had touched it to pick it up to look at the segments underneath. However, I can positively sex it based on the presence of wings, right?
Anyways, was the "half-roach" that looked eaten actually canabalized by the others or was it a molt? I've never seen a roach molt so I'm not sure what to look for.
Thanks in advance for any input!
