Hisserdude Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Finally, the roach that is @Peter Clausen's avatar has entered culture, and they're actually fairly easy too (basically Eucorydia type care). Got some CB nymphs from Roachcrossing, looking forward to watching them grow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with some Melanozosteria soror. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Got my first adult, and wow they're tiny, half the size of Eucorydia yasumatsui. But super pretty still. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adults can climb pretty well, though they usually dive into the substrate when startled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 These look a good choice for a large jar with a “bean sprouting lid” then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 They appear to be a beetle mimic perhaps. They remind me of a beetle that has just landed and hasn’t yet folded its wings up. I wonder if there are any similar looking beetles in there native range? These look a good choice for a large jar with a “bean sprouting lid” then.

Could just be coincidence though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
