GardenDrag0n Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have two tall enclosures roughly 4"W x 8"L x 12"H. The dimensions would make them good for a smallish arboreal invert or colony and I am playing with different ideas. They are gasket sealing containers that I have not added ventilation to yet, so I can adjust as needed when I settle on species. What are your favorite roaches that like to spend time up off the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenB Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I don't have the experience with many different arboreal species, but I have my Oxyhaloa duesta in a very similar-sounding container. They're usually out in the open, chilling out on twigs and bark, don't seem to burrow at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenDrag0n Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Thanks WarrenB! Oxyhaloa duesta was one of the species I was considering. Panchlora nivea would be another possibility, or maybe a Hemithyrsocera species so I was curious if any of these are decently visible.

WarrenB Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Heh, those are two genera I was planning to expand my arboreal experience with! As far as I know (which is what other people have said) Panchlora nymphs burrow, the adults will be visible, and all stages of Hemithyrsocera will be visible. Check out @Martin's blog post about H. vittata, especially what they're doing in the photos at the bottom. https://www.thewildmartin.com/active-blog/hemithyrsocera-vittata-the-gold-banded-clown-roach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
