Hisserdude Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Does anybody know if there are any non-pest cockroaches in Idaho? I have been looking and have found no roaches in Idaho ( not even "pest" species! ) thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I would go on www.bugguide.com and look at the range maps. For example, I found this one http://bugguide.net/node/view/31624/data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I would go on www.bugguide.com and look at the range maps. For example, I found this one http://bugguide.net/...iew/31624/data. I do not think it shows any Parcoblatta from Idaho or even for any other cockroach on bugguide but I would think there are some cockroaches there.

Blattodea313 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well it seems that no cockroaches are found in Idaho... This range map of Blattodea shows that no cockroaches are found there http://bugguide.net/node/view/342386/data. That might explain why you haven't found any where you live. However, I found this other website where someone found some of the pest species in Idaho http://kezj.com/magic-valley-cockroaches/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Aww... Oh well. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The map on Bugguide just gathers information from the pictures that are put there on Bugguide. So it could be that just nobody posted a picture on Bugguide of a cockroach from Idaho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 So it is possible that there could be roaches in idaho! I will try hard to find some. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 http://insectexpertphd.com/cockroaches.aspx It says in the first part that Wyoming, Montana and Idaho do not have any native roaches. At first I thought pifff of course there are native roaches but maybe it is true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy1892 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 yeah i think they were, not like crazy orange but yeah definitely a orange color. Were they big? Were they a little dull colored? Did they have some markings that stood out or were they just like one solid color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrecon2 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Were they big? Were they a little dull colored? Did they have some markings that stood out or were they just like one solid color? I honestly dont remember all the exact details but they were orangish in color, there were actually pretty small maybe no bigger than an inch, thats about all i remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I came here to America I was in a small house and there were woods all around. At night I would see big bunches of Parcoblatta males flying around bushes (not really attracted to the lights near by) which I think were P. uhleriana and maybe some of the unidentified species (I do not remember ones that look like them but I did not even know about Parcoblatta then).

Hisserdude Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 That would be cool, the Parcoblatta sp interest me. ( but then again, all roaches do ) I will definitely keep an eye out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
