Description

The Emerald Roach ( Pseudoglomeris magnifica ) is one of the most stunning cockroach species in the hobby, prized for its metallic, iridescent green body that shimmers like polished jade. Their jewel-like appearance makes them highly sought after by collectors and display keepers.

Unlike more common roaches, P. magnifica is a slower-breeding species with more specific care needs. They thrive in warm, humid environments with deep substrate, cork bark, and plenty of leaf litter for hiding and foraging. A varied diet of decaying leaves, rotting wood, fruit, and supplementary foods will keep them healthy and vibrant.

The Emerald Roach is a peaceful, non-invasive species that is best suited to display setups. Their incredible colouration and rarity make them an exceptional choice for intermediate to advanced keepers looking for something truly unique.
