Gyna Centurio Centurion Porcelain Cockroach

The Centurion Porcelain Cockroach is a stunning and unusual species admired for its smooth, porcelain-like appearance and elegant markings. This attractive cockroach is popular among invertebrate keepers due to its unique look and fascinating behaviour, making it a standout species in display enclosures.

Gyna centurio is a small to medium-sized species, typically reaching around 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 inches) in length. Males develop wings and are capable of short flights, while females remain wingless and tend to stay hidden within the substrate or under décor. Their calm nature and interesting life cycle make them enjoyable to observe in a well-designed enclosure.

This species thrives in warm, humid environments with a substrate rich in leaf litter and organic material. Providing cork bark, moss, and other natural hides helps recreate their natural habitat and encourages natural behaviour. Their diet consists of leaf litter, fruits, vegetables, and dry insect foods, with occasional protein sources supporting healthy growth and reproduction.
