Kevin Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I came across this picture and was wondering if they are even in captivity? One site said it was a canopy cockroach from Costa Rica or Brazil. Anyone know what they are and any info on them Thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several nice species in CR have also been reported stationary on a bathroom wall near the light bulb.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 I wish something like that made it into the hobby. Has there really been any new introductions into the hobby? or u.s.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I wish something like that made it into the hobby. Has there really been any new introductions into the hobby? or u.s.? As far as I can tell that would require a University or other gov't. approvel USDA holding facility to import them for starters, and that would require them to have some reason to study them, which most studies seem to focus on pest species, and most of those studies are on B. germanica. Otherwise... ?? ? ? ? ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android raptor Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wow, what a pretty roach! Does anyone know anything about their size, lifespan, breeding habits, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugmanPrice Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wow, what a pretty roach! Does anyone know anything about their size, lifespan, breeding habits, etc? They live in the canopy of rainforests, some species feed on flower pollen and may be pollinators of certain plants… that’s all I got, anybody else?
