Polyphaga aegyptiaca (Egyptian sand)
10 count nymphs
The Egyptian sand roach is a slow growing roach with nymphs taking several years to reach adulthood. This species does better in a dry habitat though egg cases need some moisture now and then to hatch properly. Males have long textured wings, while females are squat, wingless, and reclusive. Females continue producing fertile oothecae throughout their long two-year-plus lifespan. Feed them a little dried dogfood, fruits and vegetables, although their primary diet is dried leaves.

Climbing: non climbing.
Flying: non flying.
Birth: Oviparous.
Temperature: 68-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
