A very small roach requiring nymph-scale containment. Micro Hooded Roaches (Compsodes schwarzi) are listed in 10, 25, and 50 mixed-nymph options. All are currently unavailable.

Culture setup

Use a secure, well-ventilated micro-enclosure with mesh, seams, and access points sized to contain the smallest nymphs. Provide fine leaf litter, suitable decayed wood, sheltered spaces, and a moisture gradient without saturation. Offer finely divided foods in controlled portions and remove spoilage promptly.

Keeper and arrival notes

Do not infer that this species shares the escape behavior or care of larger display roaches. Work over a contained area and transfer with a small vessel. Before ordering after restock, review Shipping Add-Ons and Exotic Roaches.

Listing identity

Micro Hooded Roaches (Compsodes schwarzi)

Best matched for

Keepers prepared for secure containment, species-appropriate substrate and hides, and long-term colony maintenance.

Keeper caution

Climbing, flight, burrowing, moisture, and reproductive behavior vary by species; use the exact listing rather than feeder-roach assumptions.

Plan your enclosure

A prepared home comes first

Review the product description and selected option, then gather the enclosure and supplies your animal needs. Ask keeper support if you need help planning the setup.

Before checkout

Confirm the animal, enclosure, and arrival plan

The selected option and the exact listing—not a group-wide assumption—determine what is included.

What should be ready before arrival?

Prepare a secure species-appropriate enclosure, retreat, substrate, ventilation, moisture and temperature plan, and any listed food before the package ships.

What does my selected option include?

Quantity 1 means one selected pack or option, not necessarily one individual animal. A 10-count option at quantity 2 means two packs of 10. Unsexed animals are not a guaranteed male-female pair, and an adult photograph does not promise adult stock.

How should I plan for live delivery?

Have the enclosure ready before dispatch, monitor tracking, and arrange to bring the parcel indoors promptly. Keep the unopened shipping container out of direct sun and temperature extremes, and unpack in a secure area. Free shipping does not remove species, destination, or weather restrictions.

Where can I ask a species question?

Contact keeper support with the full product title, selected option, destination, and planned enclosure before ordering.

Prepare the enclosure before arrival and keep the species guidance close at hand.
