Another cockroach added, bringing the total population to 8

Ecology Notes

Lives primarily in the mangrove forest up in the canopy but will move across all biomes at night in search of food.

Reproduction Notes

With a recently added population of adults, we'll have to wait and see how or if reproduction plays out in miniBIOTA.

Conservation Notes

Although this species seems to move across miniBIOTA without predation from the spiders or scorpions, it's yet unknown if they will successfully breed, therefore, the conservation status has been placed at Vulnerable.
