Common Name: Porcelain Cockroach
Scientific Name: Gyna lurida
Size: Various - per tub
Status: Captive Bred
Food : Cockroaches will eat a range of fruit, veg, cereals and kitchen scraps. I feed all my cockroaches on my dried 'cockroach mix' (muesli, cat biscuits, fish pellets and bran - mixed together), plus a little fruit and veg. I generally feed the cockroaches once or twice a week.
These cockroaches are pretty and can fly well. The adults are approx. 3cm, colour varies from chocolate brown to a light creamy porcelain. The nymphs are handsomely mottled in black and white.
Note : A tub of cockroaches will always contain enough individuals to start a breeding colony, the number in a tub varies depending on size of species and how many I have in stock. (when I am overrun with a certain species a tub will contain as many as I can fit in!) |
