Moved, does in fact appear to be Plectoptera...
Moved from Pseudophyllodromiinae.

Moved to subfamily for now...
Could ALSO potentially be a Chorisoneura parishi nymph, (we don't know what those look like either), so I'll leave it here for now... Fingers crossed someone can breed adults of either C.parishi or Plectoptera picta/poeyi, or rear one of these chubby nymphs to adulthood so we can figure out their exact ID!

Moved from Cockroaches and Termites.

Re. ectobiid nymph identification
Thank you, Hisserdude, for getting the identification of my mystery cockroach nymph narrowed down to these possibilities.

Holy crap....
This actually appears to be a Plectoptera nymph... The first I've ever seen! Now whether it's picta or poeyi, I couldn't say...
