Parish's Thin-Nerved Roach

Parish's thin-nerved roach is a tiny cockroach kept by specialist breeders. An introduced population occurs in grassy southern Florida habitats, where it shares vegetation with other small roaches. Adults have wings and are active on surface litter and enclosure furnishings. Colonies need warmth, strong ventilation, shelter and access to moisture without stagnant conditions. Females lay egg cases. The very small young require exceptionally fine screening, and adults can climb and fly.
