Great! Here are some pics of mine. Adult females are about 49mm long and adult males are about 40mm. I have only a few right now (I had more but most were killed by mites. <_< ) but I have at least one female! And a few young nymphs. Sub-adult nymphs seem to have small wing-buds like that nymph in your post Agent A.

mine attracted wild springtails and they keep the cage clean B)

i find nymphs have unusually swollen wingbuds even before subadult

Huh, OK thanks. Was that nymph in your pictures sub-adult?

Are they the ones that kick frass if their other defenses don't work? Very nice looking roaches!

Not like that, like Lobster Roaches. Maybe, I just have not seen it.

Maybe it was the Madiera roaches that do that?

I don't know. It has been a while. Lol!
