Pseudophoraspis nebulosa (Burmeister, 1838) - probably!
Edited by Anonymous on Fri, 25/09/2009 - 10:02am.jpg)
Pseudophorapsis nebulosa (Burmeister, 1838) is a very variable species, both in size and coloration. It is quite commonly found in the rainforests of Borneo. I have found it in Brunei, Kalimantan, Sarawak and Sabah. I have found it to be relatively rare in Sabah, however most of my collecting in Sabah has been at higher altitude than my collecting elsewhere and it is possible that it is restricted to lowland areas. This photograph was taken in lowland Sabah. Unfortunately the specimen escaped so I have not been able to confirm the identification. Photo copyright Phil Bragg.

This species, from Cuba, has been reared for many years. It has been imported several times and there are some slight differences between cultures. The roaches in this photo (and adult female, and a nymph lying upside-down) are from a pale coloured culture; most are darker than these.

This very well known species has been kept in culture for many years. They are easy to rear and, as can be seen from this photo, nymphs and adults spend most of their time on the surface. Photograph by Phil Bragg.
