Pseudoglomeris magnifica
Pseudoglomeris • Corydiidae
One of the most beautiful roaches in the hobby — a metallic emerald-green, day-active, arboreal species (also sold as Corydidarum magnifica). Wants a TALL setup with cork and leaves, high air humidity (55-75%) but a mostly-dry surface, daily light misting and good ventilation; they drink droplets off the glass. Specialized diet: bee pollen plus fresh fruit rather than dog food. Slow to breed and a bit demanding on airflow/humidity balance, but an unmatched display species. Can climb glass and males can fly — seal the lid.
