♀ Weibchen

Adulte

Females are clearly larger and broader (approx. 18–20 mm), males slimmer (approx. 12–14 mm). When courting, the male raises his wings and exposes glands on his back.

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

Adults and older nymphs are dark plum-brown with a reddish-orange head. All stages climb smooth surfaces and release a defensive odour when disturbed.

Häufige Probleme

  • They die quickly if they dry out – keep a damp zone (about 1/3 of the box).
  • Too wet without ventilation is harmful too – keep good airflow.
  • At low humidity females drop oothecae that never hatch.
  • They escape up glass – use a petroleum-jelly strip or a tight lid.
