Found out today that adult female Discoids also have large wings

Fed my boy what I thought was an adult male discoid this morning. Only to find quite a few tiny little white discoids come out of the roach after he chomped down on it a couple times. It was pretty disgusting lol. And the little ones were alive.

Here I was thinking they were sexually dimorphic

Yup this confused me way back when I had orangeheads for the first time. I was like why do I have ALL males!

As for the above picture, a really easy way to tell with all roaches is males have an extra segment at the bottom close to their butt.
