Lucihormetica verrucosa

Lucihormetica verrucosa

is a medium-sized cockroach species native to South America, known for the orange-yellow spots on its pronotum that resemble bioluminescent organs—though they are non-glowing. Calm, robust, and slow-moving, this species is an excellent choice for beginners interested in display roaches.

These roaches are non-climbing, hardy, and easy to maintain, making them well-suited for keepers of all experience levels.

Environment: Tropical enclosure with deep substrate, bark, cork, and leaf litter for hiding
Humidity: Moderate to high; maintain slightly moist substrate with regular misting
Diet: Leaf litter, fruits, vegetables, protein (e.g. fish flakes or dog kibble), and calcium
Behavior: Calm and fossorial, slow-moving, often burrows or hides during the day
Temperature: 24–28 °C

Note: This species breeds well in captivity and is an ideal option for display-focused enclosures or beginner exotic roach setups. Actively maintained and available depending on stock levels.
