You might have more luck with this in the "Insects and Other Invertebrates" forum.

Also you could try to contact "Roachman" Richie though PM.

I believe the females have a longer rump area than the males... I think that is about it on the differences with Lobsters though

I currently have a young Lobster roach colony, I'd love a solid answer on this also.

Must be the same for lobster roaches as it is for immature dubias.

this is one of my photos and I was answered and these are correct so if you look at the last segment, males have a small one and the females have a much larger one.
But this should help for where your looking on them


Edit** Oppps What an old thread.
