Description

The Obsidian Cockroach ( Pseudoglomeris tarsalis ) is a rare and striking species, admired for its glossy, jet-black exoskeleton that shines like polished obsidian. Compact and jewel-like, they are a favourite display species for keepers who enjoy ornamental cockroaches.

They thrive in warm, humid enclosures with a deep substrate for burrowing, cork bark for hiding, and plenty of leaf litter and decaying wood. Colonies breed in captivity but at a slower pace compared to beginner species, making them a rewarding choice for patient hobbyists.

Peaceful, non-invasive, and truly unique in appearance, the Obsidian Cockroach is an excellent addition for intermediate to advanced invertebrate collectors who want something rare and eye-catching.
