I am a science teacher, and did a lab graphing male dubia roach weights, just wanted to share my data. Sizes in grams, this is the beginning of my selective breeding roach project. I put the 1.8-2.1g males in with 700 females. The 2.2g ones are going to be a special small scale super roach project, top 1%. The lightest weight male roach was 1.0 g, all were in the same colony. Ill do the females next time I seperate out the nymphs.
weight---total weight g-----# of roaches
1.4------ 346.3-------------247.3571429
1.5------ 152.3-------------101.5333333
1.6------133.7-------------83.5625
1.7------ 109.9-------------64.64705882
1.8------ 54.3--------------30.16666667
1.9------ 40.1--------------21.10526316
2--------18.1--------------9.05
2.1------ 10.5--------------5
2.2------ 8.8---------------4
--------- 874--------------566.4219648
hope someone finds this a little interesting. Post if you have seen any dubia males that were bigger.
