Hi Firefly,
They are not
Aptera fusca, I live in Richards Bay. I apologize for not mentioning my location, I should know better by now.
I have had them identified by someone who has much experience with Blattodeans. They are a species of
Pycnoscelus .
Thanks for the assistance, though.

Lillypod,
This species is not in the hobby yet. If you would like to keep it, you will have to do it by trial and error, and find things out as you go along.
I would suggest a sand substrate(sterilized), covered with a sturdy layer of leaf litter; Misting the tank daily; and incorporating moistened dog food pellets into their diet.

The one aspect that people try to remove from naturalism, and that is to me the most important, is prayer. Without Prayer I would not have managed to do half the things that I have done successfully.
A small colony of Oxyhaloa dubia, two Tivia sp., an unidentified species of Cockroach, 8 tadpoles, 3 dogs, 4 cats, a budgie, and some other random animals.
