The unmistakable mark of the death head roach (Blaberus craniifer) is the jack-o-lantern face on the pronotum, this combined with the jet-black wings gives it an uncanny resemblance to the grim reaper. Fairly easy to keep, the nymphs enjoy a deep loose substrate for digging with plenty of vertical bark for the adults as they become more arboreal. This cultivar has higher contrast in its colors and a very distinct pronotum marking, and had some degree of selection for marking crispness in its infancy.
