Indian Cockroach
Pycnoscelus indicus
The Indian cockroach is a burrowing Pycnoscelus maintained in research and specialist colonies. It is closely related to the mainly asexual Surinam cockroach, and females of the two can look alike. Reliable stock identity is therefore more useful than color alone. Colonies use organic digging substrate, sheltered retreats, ventilation and varied food with access to moisture. Females retain their egg cases and release live young. Adults can climb, so secure containment is necessary.
