pics of my dubias

Just a couple of the big ones i pulled out to play with. I haven't googled how to sex them yet. I'm lazy *lol* They are thriving though, and that's awesome! Here's some pics.

Re: pics of my dubias

Did you know that they are delicious, and taste like a combination of pork and whatever you feed them?


Personally i like em with apples in their belly

Re: pics of my dubias

I think I might try and eat one, one day. I think the only hard part would be eating the first one. The rest would probably be yummy. Might do it if one of my friends dared me to. (Just to proove them wrong :P)

Re: pics of my dubias

Those all look like females, the male adults have wings (but cant fly) the females have none

not until they mature...those are nymphs...at this stage you sex them by looking at the shape of the last body segment...the 2 in the last picture on the right look like a pair...see how the last segment is a dirrerent shape...one more round the other more square

Re: pics of my dubias

They look so neat I don't even have anything that would eat them but I've been tempted to start a colony just to have it.

Re: pics of my dubias

I would eat one. If you can't do it just for kicks what makes you think you could do it when it is necessary?
