Cockroach with egg case (oothecae) I want to say oriental cockroach. But there are two problems with that. One: I've only seen them as black. This one has markings. Two:Her egg sac looks different from an oriental. Their's is smaller, slightly slender with a reddish tone. It has the slight side markings of a Drymaplaneta semivitta, but their body is too dark.

    If that's the case, I've just identified 4 different species of cockroaches at my work. Coworkers are slobs. But at least the stray cats that come there at night have fun playing with them. Posted 2 years ago
