This tiny roach is common across its range in many habitats from scrub to pine hammock to deciduous forest. Despite this, it can be a challenging species to culture. Too much or too little moisture will quickly kill the oothecae. Recent advances in barrier technological have made containing this species far easier than before. Once a system is figured out, cultures are fairly sturdy but still susceptible to changes in moisture. This species would make an incredible feeder if it weren’t so finicky! Other than this, it is a lovely little roach with golden yellow males and amber to brown females. The nymphs are also ornate with black and brown flecks on a straw-color background.
