Can you find this species of roach?
Hello. This is a beautiful roach. I would like to try and breed these roaches if you have the time to look for these. Are you able to catch this kind of roach? My email is Baptist.Walter@gmail.com if you want to write to me.

Wood cockroach.
This is an adult female wood cockroach, probably in the genus Parcoblatta. Nice image showing the under-developed wings typical of female Parcoblatta.

Thanks, I was wondering about the wings, if it was a young one or not.
