Specimens were collected from orchids in the glasshouse of the first author in Canberra A.C.T. The cockroach does not occur in Canberra in nature probably because it cannot withstand the cold winters. It is a tropical or subtropical species but it gets moved around in orchids because its oothecae are deposited in orchid roots. Lepschi found an abundance of plant material, fungal hyphae and pollen in the dissected guts. More specimens were collected in the glasshouses in the National Botanical Gardens, Canberra.
