Blaberus giganteus
(Giant Cave Roach)
*Under Construction*
One of the most iconic species in the hobby! The Giant Cave Roach has been bred for decades and is still the largest winged species in common culture, with wingspans reaching half a foot in length! Differing from some other massive blaberids, this species is not bulky, but extremely broad and flat. While this species (and the genus in general) is very commonly hybridized, we have made sure that out stock is 100% pure.
