i google the name a bit and found they can be found all the way through southern Japan to pupa new guniea, guess there might be similar sps back home...

very cool

I have seen these before, but never for sale. I'll have to try and find some. I should get my first rhino roaches next week which I'm very excited about.

no, this one is from Japan, as the author collected in the two southern islands of Japan
but there are similar species under this genus in Asia
