There are three species of glowspot roaches in the hobby. This video is of Lucihormetica subcincta, the original "glowspot cockroach," and the oldest one to be kept as a pet. In the natureal setting, the two yellow spots on the pronotum of males are said to be bioluminescent. This does not happen in captivity, however. Even still, these roaches are appreciated for their very unique appearance. Males and females are both quite attractive and there is a dimorphism (difference in appearance) between the two sexes. In that sense, it's much like having two different looking roaches in one colony, not to mention the nymphs which also look like distinct. As roaches go, these are one of the best for handling. Much like hissing cockroaches, they don't evade you when you try to pick them up or try to scramble off your hand. They are known for being very slow growing but they are also long-lived at 3+ years. Thanks to Andrew Barell from andrewbarell.com for his smooth edits and animations in this video!
