What type of roach is that, someone showed me an exact picture and asked what species it was.

 

[bugmankeith]

Hey nitrotech can you please tell me the species of roach you got a picture of?

 

[nitrotek]

I don't know what kind it is I found it in are ammo/mre storage room which is kind of like a basement the altitude was around 4000ft Ive seen them at my base camp which is around 2500ft and they seem to be wingless as adults

Are you going to bring any home?

 

[nitrotek]

I'd like to but U.S. Customs is very strict on stuff like that

 

[bugmankeith]

What do you think that cockroach species eats if you kept it in captivity? Does it live in dry conditions, or damp conditions?

 

[bugmankeith]

Actually, looking at it makes me think its an American Cockroach nymph, being it was found in a basement.

 

[nitrotek]

the area Im in is arid though its a river valley the picture was taken on a mountain the climate in the building was dry but cool

Man, I wish I could just freely catch a bunch of mantids like that around here.
