Cool looking roach!
yea, i suspect variation of color based on variation in the gene pool they were collected from (woops, these are actually from the melbourne museum) however they could also be a different species, from the same genus?
here's a link but maybe they got the name wrong because it looks different....http://esperancewildlife.blogspot.com/20...
Nice roach ! Got any links to info on these? Are they Oz natives?
