Moved, lucifrons indeed, nice find...
Once had a small adult group of this species, unfortunately I kept them way too humid, and they died off prematurely... :/ One of my biggest facepalm moments in my time as a Blatticulturist!

Moved from Cockroaches and Termites.

Thank you Hisserdude!
My first time finding this pretty roach. I'm guessing this must be a male. Right?

No problem!
And yes, this is an adult male, females have much shorter wings that don't fully cover their plump abdomens. :)
