Ralph Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I heard about this Polyphagid in The Compleat Cockroach. It is described as a small, hairy sand cockroach. I couldn't find a single picture on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It's only found in Key West, Florida and doesn't reach 1/4". There's a drawing of the adults and description in How to Know the Grasshoppers, etc. by Jacques R. Helfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Tiny, no wonder there is so little information about them. I should check out that book. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
