Byrsotria fumigata, commonly known as the Cuban Burrowing Cockroach, is a robust, ground-dwelling species native to Cuba. Unlike many roaches, it prefers dry conditions and burrows into substrate rather than climbing. Males sport wings but are flightless, and adults reach around 4–5 cm in length. Easy to keep and breed, they feed on fruits, vegetables, and dry mixes, making them ideal for display or as feeder insects for reptiles and tarantulas. Their calm nature and low maintenance needs make them a solid choice for beginners and seasoned keepers alike.
