Hisserdude Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think really flat roaches have become a new favorite of mine! Very nice species, you'd never think it was in the Epilampridae, and not the Zetoborinae. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Beautiful species! What species of plant is that in with them? Is that part of their enclosure or just added for the photos? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tleilaxu Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Are flat roaches becoming a thing? If they blow up, we all get the pleasure of being where it all started. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found the parental group in ferns of the genus Asplenium, but then I've had some troubles to get these ferns in a right size, so I used bromelias instead of in the enclosure and they seems to like it. :-D 3 hours ago, Tleilaxu said: Are flat roaches becoming a thing?

I'm agree, maybe in some time they will be really popular :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you used them in with other roach species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they don't bite the leaves :-) I've used bromelias in enclosures of some diurnal roaches as Euphyllodromia angustata and Paratropes phalerata as well, but I've finished it because they seems to be fine in barks. In the case of Capucinella, well, I think to use plants with wide soft leaves or something like that is completely necessary for them to be comfortable, otherwise they are going to look all the time for a way to escape from the enclosure :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
