Blaberus fusca
“Dusky Cave Roach”
The dusky cave roach, also known as the dwarf cave roach, is a large, fairly quick breeding Blaberus species that serves as a great pet as well as larger feeder. There is controversy over the true identity of this species. In Europe, it is considered a brown winged morph of B. craniifer, while others claim it to be a hybrid between craniifer and other Blaberus species, and the remaining group identifying it as species B. fusca. This species is quite large, grows and breeds quickly, and is easy to care for when given the proper conditions of a spacious, moderately moist enclosure. Adults reach 2-3″.
