Found 3 cockroach in Rincon De La Vieja, Costa Rica.
I would like to find the exact species...

It looks to me like Archimandrita tesselata (peppered roach), but I recommend posting this on bugguide.net.

Looks like your right. Unfortunately, I have only 2 of them. I’ll try to get more for sure...
Definitely one of the most beautiful cockroaches I have ever kept...

That one looks sort of pale, like it only recently molted to adulthood.

If you go looking for more, could you take pictures of the habitat where you find them? That would be interesting to see.

Yes. Just molted.

I don’t have any pics- but I found him in the jungle under a dead tree. All the 3 were very close to each other...

Archimandrita for sure, probably tesselata.

Nice roach! Will it turn a plain brown once it hardens?

 

[Salmonsaladsandwich]

It'll become browner but retain the distinct speckled coloration.

They look great either way.
