Awesome post, thanks for summing it up here in a nice manner! Good to spread awareness of hybridization possibilities and what said hybrids look like.

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.

No, a male from a different breeder.

Not sure if they're mimicking any specific type of beetle, but their appearance is very beetle-like. Could just be coincidence though.

Bit of a late update, but was very successful in breeding these BTW, and already onto the next generation. Adult female: Males & females:

A few adult females chilling

Well I've never kept normal E.sinensis so I can't really compare the behavior TBH. They don't seem very aggressive though.

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!

Adults can climb pretty well, though they usually dive into the substrate when startled.

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.

H.laevigata may be in culture in Russia, and I think I have seen some Brazilian hobbyists keep them as well. I've never seen H.sexnotata enter culture though, and I doubt either species will enter US culture in the very near future.
