Adulte

Both sexes are fully winged. Males are longer and slimmer, females shorter, broader and heavier with a larger pronotum; males have longer antennae.

Nymphen

Nymphs: in the last 2–3 instars, check the underside of the abdomen – females have one large terminal plate, males a narrower plate with 1–2 small extra segments behind it (often with tiny styli). Not practical in young nymphs.

Entwicklungsstadien

Nymphs are wingless, flat, mottled brown burrowers. Adults are pale, tan-grey and “peppered”. A large, slow-growing species.

Häufige Probleme

Failed final moults – with crowding, no vertical hides, low temperature or dry air.
Stale wet air without ventilation: deaths, mould, mites.
Slow dehydration of adults – keep the substrate moist.

Gut zu wissen

Hobby lines formerly sold as A. tesselata turned out to be A. marmorata – hence the “ex. tesselata” label. A. tessellata Rehn, 1903 is a separate species; reliable identification requires examining male genitalia.
