Rosie and the ROACHES - Dubia Roaches as Pets - Animal Facts
Yes, our girl collects roaches as pets. Mostly, they are feeder roaches that she has liberated.
Blaptica dubia, the Dubia roach, also known as the orange-spotted cockroach,[2] Guyana spotted cockroach,[3] or Argentinian wood cockroach,[4][5] is a medium-sized species of cockroach which grows to around 4.0–4.5 cm (1.6–1.8 in).[6][7] They are sexually dimorphic; adult males have full wings covering their body, while females have only tiny wing stubs, their tegmina (forewings) being around a fourth of their body length.[6][8]
Adults are dark brown to black with somewhat lighter orange spot/stripe patterning sometimes visible only in bright light. Coloration does differ slightly with environment and diet from one colony to another.
Blaptica dubia are ovoviviparous, giving birth to live young,[9] and can give birth to 20 to 40 nymphs per month under favorable conditions.
The Dubia cockroach is found in Central and South America, beginning in Costa Rica. It is common from French Guyana and Brazil to Argentina.
Documented specimens have been found in Brazil,[10] Argentina,[6] and Uruguay.
