There was another breeder here who had a much larger amount of P.magnifica, sadly his colony crashed. Pseudoglomeris, and really just Perisphaerinae in general aren't the easiest of roaches to culture unfortunately. Hopefully they do get a foothold into the US roach hobby. So far mine seem to grow fast. Which makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanislas Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 I managed to make a video of one of the nymphs eating bee pollen: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axolotl Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Loved this video. Is that pollen on the palps or is that the natural color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it, and I can only conclude that it's the natural color of the palps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfficerKitty Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Working on getting ahold of a few myself (emerald roaches). Hopefully I can help get them into the US hobby 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titus Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I finally have my first adults of this species. Bought nymphs from a German source about a year ago. Fed them fish flakes, fruit and occasionally some bee pollen. Kept them on a mix of soil and rotten wood flakes with a few pieces of bark to hide under. Temp +/- 22°c, medium humidity, spraying only once every week or two. Anybody else has any experience breeding these ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Corydidarum don't really eat their sheds at all, so you'll be finding "dead" individuals quite often! I have a cup full of old molts. It scares me every single time I find one, thinking I lost one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems all Perisphaerinae do the same thing, I've got "dead" Bantua nymphs all over the floor of their enclosure... 😛 Their exoskeletons are so thick that they retain their structure for a while and are apparently inedible or at least very unpalatable to the roaches...
