Roachsmith Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 This roach was found in Santa Rosa, California. I find them mostly outside but this little guy was on the wall this morning so I took a pic. They are only about 1/4". Was wondering if you guys could confirm this is a Supella longipalpa nymph. I've never seen any adults around. Also, there's something coming out of it's rear end and it's waving it around. What the heck is that??

As far as that tail end thing goes.... I would need to see the roach in person. This may be a question for Orin. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 It should be a subadult Blattella nymph but I avoid both genera so I'm not certain from an immature photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachsmith Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 I just made a roach trap and set it under the bush they hang out by. There was still a lot running around but I think they would be impossible to catch without the trap. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I might have some in the morning. I hope they like fig newtons. It was the only sugary thing I could find around here for the trap. lol. - Could this be blatella vega nymph? I only found pics of adults, but the stripes are similar.

Blattella vaga Hebard, peridomestic but not regarded as a pest as such, adults may fly to light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
