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&#039;t extend this far north.<br />
