vfox Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 http://entomologytoday.org/2013/12/09/cold-tolerant-cockroach-from-asia-has-been-found-in-new-york/ No it's not the supposedly new species those kids were DNA sequencing. This is the Japanese cousin of the American cockroach. So... Who wants to go collecting? I'd love some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Oh wow! P. japonica! I used to find those at my uncle's house when I was in Korea. It's really cool to know that this species can now be collected in the US. I look forward to getting some of these if anyone gets a chance to collect and breed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'll be on the lookout I live in New York Did they say if they live in wooded areas like native cockroaches here or if they fly towards lights outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) awww yeahhh!!! Run Keith run and don't leave any trash can unturned! Okay so the article says they were captured in a walk way called " the high line" on the west side of manhatten. I don't like hunting in the cold but this might work for you. It would force all of them down and to warm areas. Pitfall traps will do the work for you if the area is unsafe. http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/10000622/1/ There is a little more on them.^^^^ they live outside in the us apparently.
