Northern green cockroach (SciiFii)

The northern green cockroach (Panchlora americanum) is a species of cockroach, most closely related to the green banana cockroach (Panchlora nivea), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. According to Richard Boggs and some other working scientists, while this species was easy to create and breed, it was difficult to introduce due to fears from many people due to the fact that cockroaches are despised by the public. However, SciiFii's scientists were able to convince that this cockroach species does not invade inside houses, hotels, or other buildings made by sapient species. The females can grow up to 24 mm and the smaller males are 12 to 15 mm long. It is winged and a strong flier, pale green to yellowish green in color, with a yellow line running up the sides. The nymphs are brown or black in color and are burrowers. It is usually an outdoor species and is rarely found indoors, so is not considered a pest. The adults can often be found in shrubbery, trees, and plants. The young can be found under logs and other debris. It is often attracted to both indoor and outdoor lights and it is mainly a nocturnal species. It is often a popular pet roach due to its relatively pleasant green color, and because it is not an invasive indoor species. It is also used as food for other pets. The ootheca (egg case) is 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 inches) long, is curved, and has indentations that show where the eggs are located. A study found that they contained 28 to 60 eggs (average 46). The ootheca is carried internally by the female until the eggs hatch. At 24 °C (75 °F) the eggs hatch in about 48 days, after which male nymphs mature in about 144 days, and female nymphs mature in about 181 days. The conservation status of the northern zebra bug is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the northern zebra bug's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
