Zephyr Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I went herping today and while rustling through some leaves, I found roaches! The adults are an amber color and about 1/3" long. No pics at the moment; I only had time to catch about 5, all juveniles and one freshly molted adult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 They just sound like Parcoblatta sp. to me (not that it's a bad thing). Depending on the state, they might also be Blatta Lateralis. For loads of wild roaches, hold a large net under a dead tree and peel off bark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Pics? ...and, what state are they collected in ?? Michigan, under what I believe are rotting cottonwood leaves. They're WAY to fast to photograph. x.x However, the nymphs are a light olive-yellow color with small streaks of black on their abdomen.
