No... They are Creobroter sp. I do not think many people on this forum could ID them.

It is an easy mistake. I still do not know what creo sp. are really in culture and I have been doing exotics for more than 5 years.

We can really only take our best guesses

So the only way to guarantee we aren't outcrossing/hybridizing our creos is to inbreed them... thats comforting.

Who ever said inbreeding was bad?

Not necessarily a bad thing

Not only do u not have to breed them and just renew your stock each time but inbreeding will eventually kill off the line if it isnt fit and the captive bred individuals would not have harmed wild populations by their production

I have pictipennis, but received the ones in the photo as an "unknown" creo sp. I only sell the ones I received as pictipennis. I breed these and just call them "mystery" creo as nobody has positively id'd them. Lots of guesses, but no certainty.
