A very nice find, and a species I've been wanting for a while, (and should be getting within a few months)! Peppered roaches are way, way bigger, and there are none in NA. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Arenivaga should be kept bone dry, but make sure there is a moist spot in the substrate always available. They are burrowers and should have substrate a few inches deep. A layer of dead leaves is a must for any Corydiids, and Arenivaga are no exception.The bottom one is a Ischnoptera bilunata, a small, easily cultured species.These like to be kept moist, and like a rich substrate according to roachcrossing, i.e. a mix of coconut fiber, dead leaves, rotten wood, maybe some moss as well.</blockquote>
