This vivid species make a great pet or feeder. It is very similar to Blaberus discoidalis, but adults have an enticing mixture of pronotum patterns ranging from the typical restricted square to large, elaborate blobs. This culture was started from a dozen or so individuals collected under a piece of plywood and is believed to have originated from escaped individuals from a nearby fruit importation warehouse.
