【94mm】Mammoth Cockroach, Southern Giant Cockroach, Roach, Dan-Gomushi, Wara

Scientific Name: Megaloblatta longipennis

This is one of the world's largest species of cockroach.
Including the wingspan, I believe this species is the largest.
However, because the width is not as great, the rhinoceros cockroach has more presence.

Megaloblatta longipennis is a species of cockroach belonging to the family Ectobiidae. It is the world's largest cockroach in terms of body length and wingspan. It is native to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, although its range is sometimes reported to extend to Panama. This is based on misidentification of the closely related and similar M. blaberoides (the only Central American species in this genus).

Individuals of M. longipennis are known for their exceptional size. The largest specimen measured 9.7 cm in length, 4.5 cm in width, and had a wingspan of 20 cm. The closely related species M. blaberoides is very similar but differs in several morphological characteristics and reaches almost the same length, with a wingspan of approximately 18.5 cm.

We apologize, but we do not offer guarantees against downgrades due to shipping. The individual pictured will be sent.
