Roach "A" is smaller and was collected under leaves in damp forest.

Roach "B" was collected in an old abandoned house in said forest.

Roach B: http://kybugs.com/whats_that/b.html

I collected 9 of roach A with a ratio of 6 males/3 females

and 3 nymphs of roach B - all have now molted to female adults so I have no reference for B males

Any help with id greatly appreciated!

The Roach B seems to be Parcoblatta pennsylvanica, The Roach A male seems to be P.uhleriana, and the female (which is still a nymph BTW), is also P.uhleriana.

I was thinking B was likely pennsylvanica. As I review the specs of uhleriana it's seems to be spot on, thanks for the input!
