thope007 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hi, I wonder if anyone knows the ID of this roach found indoors in an apartment in central Sweden. I'll apologize for the rather misleading picture but that is what I recieved from our technician in the field. Cheers/thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I can not ID them, but they look really cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Periplaneta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It looks too flat for Periplaneta, I would have to guess Pycnoscelus sp. But I dont think they live in Sweden.. Maybe in a house plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It reminds me of a variation of Periplaneta brunnea, but there's a high chance that this could be other species in the same genus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android raptor Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The adult looks almost like P. Fulinginosa, but the body is too round and I don't think that species would do well in Sweden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The pronum has some pattern on it, if we could get a closer view of that it might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I wonder if these could be Periplaneta japonica... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I wonder if these could be Periplaneta japonica... I do not think so. http://www.google.co..._vmkOO3s8eieKg= Search Orthoptera of Korea and that website has a picture of a P. japonica nymph (Or at least it is labeled P. japonica).

thope007 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Exciting discussion! Unfortunately I don't have any more pictures. It was found indoors in a flat (as far as I know). //Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
