It's a male of an Arenivaga species, more commonly known as the sand or desert cockroach.

Haha, I was wondering if you might have this species, or if it might be one on your wanted list. It would be cool if I found more than just this one.

Would that be as food source for your ants or you find them intriguing enough to keep as pets?

I want them as pets. These roaches don't breed enough to use as feeders. Actually, native CA roaches in general aren't great feeders because they're so hard to breed.

Camponotus fragilis
Novomessor cockerelli
