Not just one, but a colony of 10 pieces!

Emeraldl Cockroach (Pseudoglomeris magnifica)!

[little-island-writer]

I'd like to introduce everyone to some of my favourite roaches. ♡

1 - Dominio cockroach

Therea petiveriana

2 - Flower cockroach (these also come in sapphire!!)

Eucorydia dasytoides

3 - Emerald cockroach

Pseudoglomeris magnifica

4 - Centurion Porcelain Cockroach

Gyna centurio

5 - Halloween Hissing Cockroach

Elliptorhina javanica

6 - Death's Head Cockroach

Blaberus craniifer

That's all for now. These little guys are so misunderstood, so I hope I have convinced at least one person they can be beautiful. Personally the death's heads are my favourite. I have a small colony of them I'm hoping to grow. ♡

Corydidarum magnifica, também conhecida como Pseudoglomeris magnifica e barata esmeralda , é uma espécie de barata nativa do Vietnã e do sul da China, normalmente encontrada sob folhas ou cascas de árvores. Essa você mataria?

I was inspired to make these characters from 2 roach species(Panchlora nivea and Pseudoglomeris magnifica)

These are my pseudoglomeris magnifica babies (and an adult male) having a meal. They are super pretty, but the cutest fact about them is that their mom carries the babies on her underside until their first molt :)

Pictured here, but the glass of their enclosure is dirtyyyy

I have an irrational fear of cockroaches so if someone who really likes them wants to tell me positive things about them (roles they play in environments, cool features of specific species, etc.) I think that might help

Obviously no pressure on anyone, I just think that the fact that so much information that I can find about them is steeped in hatred and fear doesn't really help

If you're going to hate on cockroaches (or qny other bugs tbh) please don't do it here, this is not a space to hate them

It sippy time, lads

Emerald Green Roach Pseudoglomeris magnifica (s)

Mysterious red beetle

I looked in the evening at my Pseudoglomeris magnifica (generally these are cockroaches, not beetles) to replace the fruit with fresh ones, and was surprised to see a red insect. My pseudoglomeris are all in green metallic shades. But you see metallic red here!

In the process of cleaning the insectarium, I find a discarded exoskeleton and begin to guess that the red stranger could have just shed, which is why the color is different. Cockroaches of the more familiar species after molting are generally white for some time.

I looked this morning and yes, the redness is gone, the shell has turned green. Cool!

The photo shows just the color changes (in the third photo my chameleon is in the center).

I got my dream roaches today ;A;

There is 6 of them and they are tiny babies (apart from that one big one) and I'm so paranoid about their survival in my care ;-;
