Common Name: Headlight Cockroach
Scientific Name: Lucihormetica  subcincta
Status: Captive Bred
Sexing: Easy as adults (male has two yellow spots on 'head', hence their common name), not possible to sex nymphs.

Food : Cockroaches will eat a range of fruit, veg, cereals and kitchen scraps. I feed muesli, cat biscuits, fish pellets and bran plus a little fruit and veg. I generally feed the cockroaches once or twice a week.
A very pretty cockroach species. Approximate adult size 4-5 cm.
How I keep mine
I keep these and many of my other cockroaches in plastic tubs, I drill air holes in the lid for ventilation. I use peat or coir on the base and add leaf litter. I feed them once or twice a week on my dried cockroach mix and pieces of fruit and vegetables. I find banana and cucumber are favourites.
Like most bugs it is a good idea to give them a dry and a damp area to choose from.
Some cockroaches climb better than others, this species prefer to burrow so I provide them with a deeper substrate than most. Both sexes are wingless but  I would always house them with a lid on the box or tank as they can be very active at night and may climb up, especially the adults. Most cockroaches will not do well in stale, damp conditions as this encourages mould to grow.
