FLAT BODY HISSER

Aeluropoda insignis

Genus ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Aeluropoda, is in the house.  Madagascar Hissing Roach, A. insignis gets its common name from its  flattened body.  Other hissing roaches from Madagascar do not have this characteristic.  Insignis is very tame and easy to handle, but they are great climbers and good escape artists, especially when small. A tight fitting lid is needed to keep small nymphs contained. We use totes with weather seal to keep them contained.  Flat body hissers like it dry and do well on normal roach food like fruits, veggies, and dry dog food.

Size: 1.4″ to 2.5″
