Thank you for confirming it
This delicate, little thing is one of my favorite roaches. One of her best traits: she is, apparently, not interested in moving into and taking over my house... :-)

No problem!
Yeah, I actually maintain a culture of this species. They are very fast breeding, and their offspring are super tiny, so escapes do happen... But they absolutely can not set up shop indoors lol, despite coming from arid climates they do not handle complete dryness that well at all! :)
