Pennsylvania Wood Cockroach Nymph - Parcoblatta pennsylvanica
I found this cockroach under rotting wood. It scurried onto my hand, and then was gone just as quickly as it had come! I think this is P. pennsylvanica because of the location. P. divisa is very similar, but its range doesn't extend this far north.
Habitat: Rotting wood in a deciduous, wooded backyard habitat.

The Pennsylvania wood cockroach or Pennsylvanian cockroach is a common species of cockroach in eastern and central North America.
