Species:
e. posticus cockroach

Ingrid is an orange head cockroach (eublaberus posticus) complete with rorschach-like pronotum pattern, white false eyespots and creamy light tan wings (Her pattern does not have to be exact, as long as it resembles an eyeball). She has a third eye between her antennae, which is green and mammalian, an addition I made to assist in facial expression (plus I just happen to be partial to them ;3 ). She has arolium (little suction cups in where pawpads would be that help a roach to climb even smooth surfaces) that are a light cream color. Her particular roach species can't climb glass, but can climb quickly through most all surfaces in the jungle. They are one of thousands of species of cockroach that cannot thrive in human homes, and prefer to keep burrowed in the dirt. They cannot fly, but can "glide" when absolutely necessary.

Added some photos of some e. posticus from my own old colony for assistance with anything not showing. :)

Other aspects of her personality:

She adores tea, oranges, most other tropical fruits, and like most roaches, cat food. She has a cat-like demeanor, having a fascination with fluffy things and sleeping high up on things, and prefers wearing her collar most of the time. She doesn't vocalize, but sometimes makes faint hissing sounds with her abdomen. Her partner is a 4-foot-tall banana roach girl, which I'll upload when I get more time.

Character belongs to me/Vera 2010-2014.
