Is it possible to sex premature dubia roach?

I've been raised them for several months but I don't know how to sex them except full-growned adult.

So, is there anyone who knows how to sex premature dubia roaches?

Yes, you can tell based on the number of body segments they have. Even the nymphs will have an extra little "bud" type segment at the end, which will indicate male. Here is a tutorial I put together on them a while back.

Thanks Salzy. I have a small Blaptica Dubia colony but I wanted to feed only males to my geckos.
