Yeah, we're seeing some really awesome species entered culture lately for sure! If only there were a bit more people in the hobby here, and more interest in some of the less flashy species as well.
A beautiful species of small Blaberid with metallic green adults. 😍 I did not find them too difficult to rear, fingers crossed they'll breed well for me!
Female:
Males:
Females are unbelievably vibrant in coloration, they look oversaturated in real life. 😍 Males are quite a bit darker but still super pretty.
Adult female:
Ootheca. Note the exit hole on the last picture, the oothecae of this species do not have an exit seam as is typical of roach ooths. Instead the nymphs chew their way out of their oothecae!
Very easily, care is similar to other Corydiids, two third of substrate kept dry, the rest humid. Lots of ventilation, dog food and leaf litter diet, and they're good to go. Doesn't get a whole lot easier.
Glad to see you back! Lots of diversity in the hobby atm, I will say from personal experience the white eyed Eupolyphaga are pretty dang cool. Pet dirt like most Corydiids, but a very cool strain of a relatively easy to breed hobby classic.
