(Six-Spot Roach)

*Under Construction*

This roach was long thought to be Eublaberus distanti, but new research into range data suggest that this was never actually the case. Whatever its true identity, one thing's for certain - this roach is a delightful addition to any blatticulturist's collection.  The six-spotted nymphs are dazzling in their own right, sporting a stocky build and very glossy exoskeleton.
