satchellwk Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Some neat ones that come to mind are Ischnoptera deropeltiformis (sexyleg or dark woods roach) and Pseudomops septentrionalis (pale bordered field roach). A note on sexylegs, though, I've heard that the individuals from their northern ranges ( including Tennessee) require a simulated winter to breed in spring. Also, if your ever curious of the insect life of a given area, you can always use bugguide.net; it is a very helpful source. Good luck roach hunting.
