different kind of roaches PLZ help me identify

[ChamOh]

Someone sent me some roaches--they were supposed to be dubia, but I don't think so...

Can someone please help me identify the visual differences between dubia and turkistan (which i think they may be) or other common roaches..

thanks jamnchristian, yeah i've kept dubia for some time now and these do look like dubia -- they just seemed ultra fast out of the box, making me think "uh-oh turkistan roaches!" I didn't realize they looked that much different from each other, thanks for posting the pics.

...really?? i did pick some up from you a while back, but i'm not referring to those. these came in today. it's a long story but i ended up getting these roaches after what i really ordered didn't pan out. anyway i have a bunch of these buggers now and they are fast.
