Vulgaris Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 A friend in Georgia captured these last night in her chicken pen. The photo is not great, but could they be Parcoblatta of sorts? She says they are large, maybe around an inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulgaris Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks for the ID man! I was not expecting it to species level. She is curious about telling male from female (which I do not know either) so she said she might get better pics in the next few days (both of us have the same kind of camera:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Females are wider and thicker than males, with shorter wings proportionally. On the end of the abdomen, males have two sternites while females have one large one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
