This is gyna lurida, aka "porcelain cockroach". They vary vastly in color depending on diet. My colony has adults ranging from white to pink to yellow to some that are a mixture of colors. This one is the brightest yellow I've ever seen! It's so pretty with its yellow upper body and pinkish-purple under-body. <3 I call them fancy roaches... their pronotum design even looks like a butterfly to me.

Very pretty, reminds me of a Banana Slug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_slug
Oh, just a little update on the ones you did sell me, the orangeheads are doing ok. 4 of them have become adults since and 1 has had babies. :3 Also, the discoide are CRAZY blooming. I have over 50 now ^-^ My hedgie really loves the shed casings as they grow too, but I am keeping the very best ones to encase in polymers and make into jewlery some day!
