Blatta Lateralis or Shelfordella Lateralis (S.Tartara - Blattidae) lives in desert and semi-desert areas in the Middle East regions. Introduced in the United States in the late 70′ early 80’s probably by military personnel returned from the already cited regions, today can be found in California , Texas and Arizona. Slightly smaller compare to N. Cinerea with a size range from 22 to 28mm, a clear sexual dimorphism with winged males and wingless female, extremely fast however lacks the apacity to climb glass and smoth surfaces making this roach a tasty snack for our herps. blatta lateralis eggcaseIts speed mirrors its breeding capacities, as opposite to N. Cinerea doesn’t give birth directly to live nimphs but instead encloses about 20-30 eggs inside an ootheca laid every couple of weeks. In captivity eggs hatch circa in 30 to 150 days, factors like temperature, humidity, food and bedding can affect eggs timespan. Nymphs spend 90 to 150 days in this form, adults life span is about 6-12 months.
