Hisserdude 887 Posted January 6, 2014 Report 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 post Share on other sites
Blattodea313 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Report 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 post Share on other sites
happy1892 8 Posted January 7, 2014 Report 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blattodea313 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Report 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 post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 887 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Aww... Oh well. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
happy1892 8 Posted January 9, 2014 Report 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 post Share on other sites

happy1892 8 Posted January 10, 2014 Report 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 post Share on other sites

happy1892 8 Posted January 19, 2014 Report 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

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 887 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report 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 post Share on other sites
