Cool cockroaches I've learnt about pt 4
Polyphaga saussurei
These cockroaches are found in South Asia and North-East Caucasus. They are great pets but not commonly kept. These are very interesting as these two are the same species but the males (left) look incredibly different from the females (right). They can live to over 2.5 years and produce an unpleasant odor when disturbed. They are very similar and potentially the same as Polyphaga saussurei (Giant sand cockroaches).
Pseudomops septentrionalis (Firefly cockroach or pale-bordered field cockroach)
These cockroaches look super cool and almost cartoon-like. They are found in the South-East of the US in low-growing vegetation and flowers. The 'pseudo' in Pseudomops means fake or false. This makes sense as these are seen as pseudo fireflies.
