the creobroter looks like creobroter gemmatus.

How do you know? Are you familiar with differentiating between the various Creobroter species?

There are barely distinguishable. That's the problem. Maybe the Thailand ones are really gemmatus, I don't know (although elongatus are also from Thailand). I just hope to get enough specimens that I have a large series one day. Maybe this could help clean this genus up a bit. Without seeing the type specimens it's almost not possible to draw any conclusions anyway.

:lol: :lol: Ok, let's sum it up: the following morphs are actually in stock

C. elongatus, C. "nebulosa": differences as shown by Yen.

C. pictipennis: hindwings more like "nebulosa", pronotum more slender and always green, wings longer.

C. "gemmatus": smaller than elongatus, similar in appearance, but forecoxae of nymphs not red as in elongatus. Brown pronotum, but overall more "green" than elongatus. Species identity not confirmed so far.

The confusion arises from the fact that Creobroter is confusing. There is no aid at all if hobbyists start to name them by themselves. That's why there are elongatus stocks wrongly named "pictipennis", not talking about the gemmatus/elongatus problem.

Thanks Becky

how many hatched? katnapper sent me a Phyllovates chlorophea ooth and its due to hatch soon

 

[leviatan]

how many hatched?

At this momment 22 nymhs, but I think it will be few more. I have one ooth more of this - but largest than this

Don't worry It takes 39 days to hatch

 

[Katnapper]

You're welcome, Damian. They are cute little buggers, aren't they!

Becky, try to be patient, lol! Also, at least one of the ooths of this species reportedly hatched 2 weeks later than the average of 41 days. So don't give up if 40 days passes....

 

[beckyl92]

i didn't mean im gonna give up on them hehe

just im dead excited about them hatching so im getting impatient.
