Ferdy Christant

Lion

Interesting thick antennae. Genus "Balta" would be my guess, but don't take it too serious. Posted 4 years ago

  I think that's a good possibility as well. It'd probably be easier to ID if it was an adult, lol.
  
  I also see similarities to Ectobius sp., although I don't know if that genus is found in Australia. But, I honestly don't know... Posted 4 years ago

    The similarities to Ectobius that I referred to can be seen in your other photo of this roach (the white mustache line on the face). But, maybe other genera have this characteristic as well? Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

      But the ID on that one isn't confirmed, so could be incorrect. Posted 4 years ago

        Didn't even realize it's not an adult. Your suggestion looks excellent! Posted 4 years ago
